Step by step notes for installing Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy on PPC computers. These steps have been tested on the following Macintosh models:
PowerMac Quicksilver add additional models here
1. Start by installing Gutsy using the Alternate install cd. Installing from the Live CD is trickier and doesn't always work.
2. Reboot when prompted by the installer. The first reboot can take a VERY long time. Be patient. Eventually the BusyBox prompt will come up.
3. At the BusyBox prompt type the following:
> modprobe ide_core > exit
If there is a zip drive installed and the blank prompt doesn't appear again, hit <return> one more time before typing >exit.
