Ubuntu Dapper RC, Installer crashes on PPC (iBook G4)

[Urs Mueller]

Trying to install Dapper RC on the external Firewire-Disk of my iBook G4 fails.
Steps:
- Boot the PPC-Live-CD
- Partitioning with the Installer fails, so I use mac-fdisk.
- Format the partition (/dev/sda6), mkswap (/dev/sda4)
- Then use the installer to choose language, country and so on
- choose the appropriate partition for "/" and swap.
The installer then should begin with the installation, but it fails with:

The line numbers indicate with certainty that this is not actually the Dapper RC; it looks like Flight CD 7 instead. This is also bug 43012, and is fixed in the release candidate.

Sorry folks

a) I did search for a duplicate entry, but did not find any. I will try harder next time.
b) I simultanously downloaded i386 and ppc. For i386 I got the RC. But for the ppc I missed and did get the flight 7 as Colin mentioned.

I don't mind duplicates at all - they're better than multiple different issues ending up in the one bug!
