I don't have any experience with the machines; I'm just using the tools
available to me for research ;)

It's as simple as download the desktop image to the hard drive, double
click file, reboot with CD. (Although I'm not sure how the Mac firmware
handles booting from CD).


Neither am I, but I have a Mac which came with the machine. Does one just
download the .iso file below onto the desktop, then onto the HDD ?  Surely
it cannot be that easy.  Back on Tuesday.

This is the image file required:


http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-powerpc.iso

You should just be able to click the link; save it, and burn it from the
file manager.
