Re: [PPC] mac mini won't boot

 

Hi,

the last report I had was that ubuntu-server ppc dailies installs okay.
Just that adding an Desktop to it breaks it. That is why I'm puzzled the
net boot is not working.  net boot lands periodically via debian builds and
is not actually a ubuntu build and not built daily by ubuntu.

Regards,

Phill.
