[clug] Network Install of Ubuntu On Powerbook

You'll need to netboot the installer image from a tftp server.

This page has a good set of instructions on netbooting a powerpc 
machine:

It's been a while since I've done this on the G4, but the following 
kernel and initrd should work:

http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/

Then once the installer is running, you can just point the installer at 
your closest ubuntu mirror, and it'll be peachy from there.

Cheers,


Jeremy
