Mr. Zhang: YDL 5 support for iBook was evaluated and tested by TSS; their comments exist on this page:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/hardware/breakdown/index.php?hw_cat_id=3 Please note the asterisks (*) regarding specific details discussing hardware. Perhaps the cause of the difficulty you are reporting could be tracked to a hardware problem. Other things you can check are the preparation of the hard drive upon which YDL would be installed and the steps recommended in the install instructions for YDL 5 which you can find here: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/installation/ Although I'm merely providing the fundamentals, others may volunteer more details. Regarding Ubuntu you will have to consult with them. I recall an official posting that (since Feb of this year) Ubuntu no longer provides support for PowerPC systems. That announcement can be viewed here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2007-February/000098.html On Fri, 27 Jul 2007 23:05:34 +0800 Zhang Weiwu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear all > > iBook A1005, the model produced by Apple on 2003 should be a G3 system. > After I boot the system with YDL 5.0.2 Install CD 1 with "c" pressed, I > see the boot prompt.

This feeling is the guiding principle of his life and work. -- Albert Einstein, Scientist.
