Re: PowerBook 12"
MAD a écrit :
Hello,
I would like to install Ubuntu 9.04 PowerPC on my PowerBook 12" with
no working CD drive. I have copied the 4 files into the root
directory (just the top level of my Macintosh HD, right)? I also
extract the .iso file and copy its contents into my root directory
(otherwise, yaboot launches and says "unknown or corrupt
filesystem"). From OpenFirmware, into yaboot, the "install" command
does nothing, so I type "live" in, which initializes an installer,
which restarts the computer, at which point on the top of the screen
there is a dash-like cursor, and it just freezes there. Then I have
to restart.
I would really like to start using Linux - I have it already as a VM
on my Intel Mac Book Pro, and I think it will make my 12" PowerBook
very useful. Is there anything someone from your Debian group could
tell me to help? Thanks a lot.

Hello,
If your cd drive isn't working, perhaps you could use unetbootin to make
a bootable usb key with your choice of a linux distro on it ? From
there, usual install.
Just my two cents.
