[   ] raring-alternate-powerpc.iso         12-Apr-2013 16:39  719M  Alternate install image for Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC @Lubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) Daily Build
Actual size = 754.2 M

I mention this because I have been 'testing' the ppc images when I can. My G3 iBook has a dvd drive that now only reads cds? and G4 is cd only so I was hoping 719M would fit on my largest cdrw: it can 711M. If anyone in the ppc world knows how to circumvent the ppc USB boot problem and has time to write a short primer for me, I'll post it (credited) on my ppc Lubuntu wiki so its recent googleable. I've looked and haven't found. My Intel Ubuntu GUI gets ISO -> USB easy I believe, that step is well-documented but I can't get my ppc to USB boot. Str8bs <[email protected]> ? sounds like you were booting ppc from USB? I've tried to copy ISO -> FireWire volume but the step in which you start copying at/after the 63rd sector to cut out the cd mount info? went over my head in hdiutil. I have 3 ppc with ATI cards, thinner Lubuntu support every daily and no reverse-engineering skills to hack AMD myself. If I had a ppc web browser I could download their driver but of course then I wouldn't need it. Single User OS - cli only on the G4 with the dvd drive when I tested April 8th raring-alternate-powerpc. No crash but no web browser/GUI. Every new Linux kernel seems to have a new reason why radeon doesn't work.
