Hi,
Canonical has dropped support for PPC machines, and you need that disk
to run it.
Also, There is a lot of issues with that.
E-mail me off list and we can see about Ubuntu. Maybe you are
interested in VIP, the Linux OS designed for the Visually Impaired.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Slau has strictly said, please don't consolidate lots of questions
into one e-mail, so I really hope she'll forgive me this one time,
and one time only, as I have enough questions, I feel making
different posts for all of 'em, really would be very impracticle and
would waiste a lotta inbox space.
I'm gonna try to keep this list as brief and to the point as I can,
but I do have a few things that need addressing. I've been meaning
to ask these things, but I've been so lazy, I just haven't.
Anyway, please read down the whole list, as if you don't know the
answer to one a these, you may know the answer to another one of them.
k: here we go.
1. In Mail, under Leopard, if I get an e-mail which has a link in
it, or several links for that mind, I have been using the item
chooser list to get to them. Is there an easier way to click them
aside that or the vo+U links list?
2. If I wanna send a link to someone, but rather than in the e-
mail, it showing the URL as the link text, I'd rather it say
something like: click here to go to the site, is there a way to make
that happen? I tried using html markup, but it didn't work.
3. In Leopard, I know I can go to universal access in system prefs,
and turn high contrast on, and I also know that under system prefs,
in appearance, I can change the highlight color from blue, to
whatever, like now I set it to red, but, that is only changing the
highlight within a program. so let's say I am at the desktop on my
finder, and I hit vo m, then down arrow in the Apple menu. Even
though I turned it to red, that! highlight in the menu on the menu
bar's still a light sky blue color. I was wonderring if I could
change that to red, or dark purple, or something like that a my
choice.
4. I do not have a mouse on this machine, as I don't have room on
my desk for one. If I go to a link on a web page in Safari, and
then vo+command+F5, I then can't do vo+shift+M. I wonder aside
hitting control and then clicking the physical mouse, being I don't
have the resources of desk room to put a mouse up there to do that,
is there another way, or am I kind a screwed as faras that goes.
5. My final question is: I have that old Mac system that I got
back in July that came with Tiger on it. I'm not talking my quick
silver running Leopard, I mean that other older one. Anyway, I
wanted to wipe it, and put Ubuntu Hartsy on it. my only issue is,
when I pop the CD in the drive, and reboot, and hold down the C key
to boot to CD, it won't boot. Yes the disc is bootable, as when I
put it in a windows based machine and try booting to it, it works
flawlessly. I'm just wonderring if installing Linux on a Mac is a
little more tricky than I think, and if so, what've I gotta do?
OK, I'm done. That's all for now. Sorry for the huge list. I feel
I should a written a novel. LOL! Sorry bout that. Hey! I did?
warn ya though, did I not? LOL!
Chris.
