Thanks for the feedback. I deleted the installation and I can install it
again.

Unfortunately, the newer CDs also have the very same problem (BTW, once
I installed gutsy, I downloaded a zillion packages---I thought that the
daily-build CD images were up-to-date).

Anyway, I can serve as a testbed for two or 3 weeks, but not much more.
I will have to use this iBook for some serious development then and it
would be a *sincere* pity to not have a recent Ubuntu working on PowerPC
machines.

Regards, Rogério Brito.

P.S.: If I recall correctly, Mark Shuttleworth had an iMac as one of his
computers. I guess that the fact that the PowerPC release of Ubuntu
isn't taken care of means that he can't use his computer?

If some care for this port is needed, perhaps I could join some forces,
as I do want to have it running well on my computer and it seems that
MacOS X 10.4 will be the last Operating System from Apple that will run
on this machine (unfortunately, as it is in a perfect state).
