I have no Mac, so I know very little about Macs. I think Lars Noodén is our expert concerning several versions of Mac computers. But I know about a thread by Quackers with a similar subject in the Ubuntu Forums. See this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174630 I don't know how relevant it is, but I hope it can add some tips how to solve your problem. -o- And finally a maybe stupid question concerning the ELF error: Is a powerbook a powerpc? What iso file should be used for a powerbook?
