Hi Guys, the lubuntu-faq-ppc[1] page was simply thrown there as it has the template :) The entries on it need replacing with your own suggestions as to what newcomers to lubuntu 12.10 PPC will face to install it. It is NOT a replacement to PPCFAQ, just a quick guide as to how to get the 12.10 PPC up and running..... Think 'n00b', think Mac person, think someone who wouldn't know a boot parameter if it bit them on the ankle!
And, yes, I can hear the collective "DEEP SIGH".... As long as the instructions are there, I can get help to make them 'look pretty' and be phrased to welcome a 1st time user.
