Seems kind of strange to make something that close to CD size but not

Even more strange, ubuntu does it again with early releases of 10.04 on
x86 (apparently the ppc version isn't out yet). This time there is a
note saying it is a "bug" and to use dvd or usb install.
I backed up to 9.04 because it fits on a cd. Installed onto the imac
just fine. From there i can apparently upgrade to 9.1 (though i haven't
tried yet). No video issues at all on this nvidia chip! But... I'd like
to learn one i could eventually put on a TiBook. Booting my 550mhz from
the live cd only gave me grayscale gibberish. Can't even begin to
install or configure. Bummer.
Did you try the suggestion at the second boot screen:
live video=fdonly
(If memory serves)
I had to do this on my Sawtooth.
I finally got ubuntu to boot from the HD on it. Oddly I did it by
adding the "-b" option to boot line. This is supposed to make it go
into single user mode but I'm getting the full GUI or so it seems.
