Hi I have an iMac G3 to. I also tried to install ubuntu on it. It works.. But I would not recommend it. Ubuntu on an iMac G3 is pretty slow.
I don't live near Vilvoorde/Kampenhout so i cannot help with the installation. All i can say is, if you want to start the live cd you have to press "c" on the keyboard while booting. However i did some tests at home, and edgy (PPC version) failed to start on my iMac G3 (400 mhz, 512 MB, 20 GB). Hoary Hedgehog booted up but was really unstable. I did not test the lastest unofficial feisty PPC version (yet). Support for an iMac G3 is not that good... Conclusion, a PPC G3 is a bit to slow for an ubuntu install. regards Dieter On Wed, 06 Jun 2007 14:48:59 +0200, Bram Vandoren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I received this message from a potential Ubuntu user.
