Thanks
Do you know how to boot Mac OS X and do a net install?
As I would like to install a dual boot system.

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:
http://wiki.ppckernel.org/w/Mac_Netboot
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/curr
ent/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
