Mac/Ubuntu - install on PowerBook G4


Hello All,


I want to install Ubuntu on my PowerBook G4 (power pc version) to dual boot as I want to keep OSX also.

I don't know where to start however. Can anyone give me some tips on what to do?

Thanks
Stu

To my knowledge the last version support on PPC was 6.06 LTS. I just grabbed the PPC Live/Install DVD from the Ubuntu site and booted off the CD.

If you hold the C button on bootup your mac should boot off a bootable CD/DVD. There were options in the install that allowed me to resize the Mac partitions and make room to install Linux as well. It also automatically setup the dual boot.

I'm moving this to the Ubuntu forum as I think your more likely to get good help there.
