Bug Description

I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on a PowerPC machine.

I started here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Which_Macs_are_compatible_with_Ubuntu.3F
which directed me to:

The installation guide I'm attempting to follow (and where I believe the documentation bug is)
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/powerpc/index.html

It directs me to download the *.iso files from here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-powerpc/current/images
which yields a 404. Its as if the PowerPC section has been removed from the archive, or moved elsewhere.

While we're at it, whenever the solution is determined, we should probably share it with
https://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/linux/how-to-install-linux-ppc-powerbook-g4/
as he has the highest ranked article on how to install Ubuntu on a PowerBook G4 (a popular PowerPC machine)

installation-guide (20150528ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low

* Merge from Debian unstable; LP: #887663.
    - fixes a wrong init script name for dhcpd.  LP: #666726.
    - fixes a typo in the table of memory requirements.  LP: #1030336.
    - drops obsolete mention of 2.6 kernels in keyboard preseeding.
      LP: #1000354.
    - fixes wrong make-kpkg example invocation.  LP: #1019906.
    - fixes stale link to debian-installer subversion repo.  LP: #1233732.
  * Remaining changes:
    - Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
      for our mirror layout, etc.
    - Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
      translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
    - Drop build-dependency on poxml for now, since we don't ship any
      translations.
    - Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
      from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
      section.
    - Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc,
      ppc64el, s390x).
    - Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
    - Document mounting /sys in various places.
    - Update chroot-install guide for language packs; add
      a bit more advice about installing grub.
    - Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
    - Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
      default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
    - Document network-console/authorized_keys_url feature
    - Document mirror/udeb/components.
    - Document scheme for preseeding the use of CC.archive.ubuntu.com
      mirrors.
    - Document how to override the weak password check.
    - Document preseeding user-setup's home directory encryption facility.
    - Document new simplified partman preseeding.
    - Document partman-auto-lvm/guided_size.
    - Document partman/default_filesystem.
    - Document live-installer/net-image.
    - Improve examples of tasksel/first preseeding to avoid mentioning
      standard, which is installed by default.
    - Document pkgsel/update-policy.
    - Document pkgsel/updatedb.
    - Document apt-setup/security_path.
    - Disable documentation of win32-loader.
    - Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
      but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
      Ubuntu ISO image.
    - Retain delta for commented-out OldWorld Mac support because it's easier
      than reverting it; but at this point OldWorld Macs will almost
      certainly never be supported in Ubuntu or Debian.
    - Remove comments about automatic installation methods that have been
      removed from Ubuntu.
    - Document Kickstart installations.
    - Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures.
    - Don't recommend passing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to
      debootstrap.
    - Document that i586 processors and i686 without cmov are no longer
      supported.
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup.
    - Replace 'netcfg/disable_dhcp' with 'netcfg/disable_autoconfig'
      throughout.
    - Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals.
    - Remove some 2.6 kernel specifics.
    - Remove documentation of
      base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators
    - Update url-us-keymap
    - Replace 'console-setup' with 'keyboard-config' in preseeding.
  * Dropped changes:
    - Rename armel manual to armhf: there are both armel and armhf manuals
      in Debian, and the armel one contains information only relevant for
      non-armhf systems.
    - Documentation of X preseeding: hardware should now be automatically
      detected, and xserver-xorg no longer uses debconf.  LP: #881984.
    - Don't suppress mention of using a CD as an archive even if the
      system doesn't boot from CD; this is very relevant for s390x, for
      instance.
    - Drop comment about Ubuntu desktop CDs, since this manual is not
      applicable to non-di images at all and we no longer have an Ubuntu
      alternate CD.
    - Drop unnecessary delta to debian/rules which causes e.g. preseed
      file to show the wrong target release name.  LP: #1316242.
  * Translate '&debian;' and '&debian-gnu;' xml entities to 'Ubuntu', allowing
    us to significantly reduce the branding delta.
  * Bump names for xenial.
  * Bump kernelversion to 4.3.
  * Disable all the documentation of loadlin, not just half of it.
  * Never enable the "new-arch" status for any Ubuntu archs.
  * Set the archive url dynamically based on the architecture, to cover
    ports.u.c vs. archive.u.c.  LP: #1391019.
  * Revert installation guide changes that say to use /etc/adjtime instead of
    /etc/default/rcS; /etc/adjtime is evilbadwrong and not used in Ubuntu.
  * Don't include information about tasks that Ubuntu doesn't have.

    Miroslav Kure for the patch.
  * Add link to boot screen section in accessibility section. Closes: #579954.

[ Martin Michlmayr ]
  * Update links for ARM images.

[ Samuel Thibault ]
  * Update brltty version.
  * Document booting from DOS (Closes: Bug#518808).
  * Add non-Linux infrastructure to the build system.
  * Add kFreeBSD infrastructure.
  * Replace Linuxish bits with per-port entities.
  * Rephrase Hurd-specific paragraph explaining that Debian GNU/Hurd is not
    Linux.

  * Add the list of architectures supported by the kFreeBSD port.
  * Restrict "Board Devices" accessibility section to Linux.
  * Fix port URL for non-Linux ports.
  * Fix "hardware" part for non-Linux ports. Now needs fine-tune from BSD
    people.

    review from BSD people.
  * Fix "preparing", "using-d-i", "boot-new", "post-install", "howto",
    "preseed", "partitioning", and "random-bits" parts for non-Linux ports.

  * Mention Windows 2003, Vista, and 7.

  * Move boot parameters subsections from inside the debian installer parameters
    section, to which they don't really belong.
  * Make subsection Installation Over the Network a direct child of Using
    Individual Components instead of hiding it in "Miscellaneous".
  * Rename 6.3.8 "Miscellaneous" into "Troubleshooting".
  * Fix default tftp directory from /var/lib/tftpboot to /srv/tftp, thanks
    Charles Plessy (Closes: Bug#606725).
  * Enable Spanish and Swedish translations (almost up-to-date).
  * Reword i386 and amd64 arch names to be consistent with the corresponding
    release-notes change: Intel x86 → 32-bit PC, AMD64 → 64-bit PC.
  * Add keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap preseed variable.
    (Closes: Bug#599772)

[ Joey Hess ]
  * Update USB stick documentation to reflect isohybird mini.iso files,
    as generated by debian-installer >= 20100913.

  * Remove obsolete reference to the replicator package
    Closes: #597983

[ Maximilian Attems ]
  * Remove obsolete reference to kernel-img.conf

[ Joey Hess ]
  * Updated USB stick documentation to describe the much simpler, more
    flexible, and likely more robust use of isohybrid images. All i386
    and amd64 ISO images are now isohybrid.
  * Remove documentation of no longer supported
    grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy preseed. Closes: #610739
