I have burnt the ISO to a CD-R now and booted my iBook G4 with it. It boots but gets stuck at "Welcome to GRUB!". I can hear CD-ROM access noises from time to time but no changes on the screen so far. I'll let it running for some time. Let me know if you want me to try anything else. Adrian -- .''`.
