I suggest that it may be best that you use Ubuntu 10.04, as it is a long term support releases. You can get the powerpc version from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso. You will need a 700MB CD to burn it onto, as the iso is 694MB. Once burnt, insert it into the powerbook, and reboot from CD by holding down the C key while the machine boots. Give the machine 20 seconds to get started from the CD, and then type: live access=v3 This should boot the CD with speech enabled. This is different to other methods documented on the internet, because the pwoerpc CD boot process is very different from i386/amd64. If you have any questions, plesae feel free to reply and ask.
