Installing Ubuntu Imac G5 PowerPC ARGh topic






Here's what I've done so far:

Made sure firmware isn't locked
Reset Nvram
Wiped HDD
Installed Ubuntu Onto a disc and alternatively a USB
Tried booting holding "C" (no boot mediums appear)
Tried installing using Open Firmware (getting messages like"partition is not a number"... sooo.. don't know if I'm doing syntaxes wrong)

Sources I've used :

http://askubuntu.com/questions/96928...-open-firmware
http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...h05s01.html.en


I've spent about 5 hours trying to get this thing to work.

Maybe I'm not doing or typing something correctly. Please let me know. Sigh.
