[Answering Israel's md5 question...] MD5 (/Volumes/MiscStuff/lubuntu-14.04-alternate-powerpc.iso) = 4d9e511daf41dbc44f4506958f0e70f9
vs. from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/MD5SUMS 4d9e511daf41dbc44f4506958f0e70f9 *lubuntu-14.04-alternate-powerpc.iso Extracting the relevant text on matching lines: 4d9e511daf41dbc44f4506958f0e70f9 4d9e511daf41dbc44f4506958f0e70f9 An exact match. So fsadm is missing from the command shell environment that one has access to for rescue-powerpc use of lubuntu-14.04-alternate-powerpc.iso burned to a CD. Without it various lvm activities can not be done from that environment. But that environment appears to be intended to allow the activities one can not do with a live file system. The configuration just happened to miss covering the specific type of use.
