Power Mac G5.  The output was "no such file or directory".

No one has mentioned this on the ubuntu-users list yet. I am a  
newbie, so I would need help if I had to do this. First and foremost  
however, a kernel patch AFIK isn't possible when using a live-CD and  
I am unsure as to whether or not I can do a quick enough install to  
avoid any  potential damage with my fans revving.

Cheers,
