work around:

1.installed the mini.iso for Ubuntu 8.04
2. when prompted to install packages, I skipped it and installed the minimal 
install.
3. got to a prompt, logged in and installed the ubuntu desktop

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

4. edited the /etc/yaboot.conf and removed the following line:

append="quite splash"

5. started desktop session

startx

proceeded with distribution upgrades

Problem seems to be with the slash screen, giving a scence to the end
user "it's not working"
