Thread: Help install Ubuntu on iBook G3 dual USB


alright, bought apple ibook g3 dual usb powerpc g3 processor @ 500mhz. got 64mb. on-board ram w/ 128mb. stick.

i've got running mac 10.4.11 tiger. know can run older ubuntu on machine. i'd prefer dual-boot both oss.

i've got i386 install disk of 8.04 lts i've used on many pc.

i'm sure sounds noob like, won't boot it, , i've got ubuntu mini installer uses internet download, don't know networking , have use wifi despite trying can't seem connected.

dual-boot them, using ubuntu install disk isn't text based.

i've researched , researched, i've found 1 video of guy doing it, instructions really horrible.

available appreciated! thanks!
