No proper Alphas exist for my PowerPC port, but I've tried to install a
few recent daily PPC builds from ISOs and also tried network
installation directly from the online repositories (my preferred method,
successful for previous releases). I can always get the base Hoary
system installed just fine, but when it comes to installing 'ubuntu-
desktop', there always seems to be one dependency package or another
missing from the ISO and/or repository, which causes failure of the
'ubuntu-desktop' meta-package installation.

I only need to install enough over the base system to see if X will
start for me. If someone could recommend a more specific package, or
brief list of packages, that I can install piecemeal via aptitude just
to test my X startup, I'd be glad to try that.
