I suspect I overwhelmed a Tangerine iBook loaded with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS by installing too many packages on it, and then allowing Upgrades to occur when prompted.
1) Where might I find an ISO of a PowerPC friendly OS so I may go into the filesystem and purge the wretched excess? I've made Live CDs on my ThinkPad of PPC Linux distros, but they fail to boot when I select the CD-ROM at boot time. 2) Perhaps a larger HD is in order... Will the iBook power supply permit any 5400rpm 2.5" drive which physically fits, or are there power limitations? What's the maximum amperage/wattage, both start-up and steady-state, safe in this iBook? One Seagate 5400rpm drive hawked by a reseller as being compatible quotes 1A at 5vDC at startup, power used in seek of 2W max (i.e., 400ma), forex.
