smc90 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The attachment I've included with this post shows my desktop as it now stands. I have two partitions that I created with Disk Utility in my Mac OS X installation disk. I downloaded the Power PC compatible version of Ubuntu Linux for my Powerbook G4 and burned them to a CD. Yet every time I restart my computer and hold down the C key, I cannot boot into the Linux disk. And although OS X recognizes both partitions when running, when I held the alt key, I only saw one HD. What am I doing wrong, as I want to install Ubuntu on a separate partition, please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alextm Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 i don't know why ubuntu wont boot from the cd. try re downloading it. as to booting holding down "alt" it will not show a partition without an os. -- I currently have an ubuntu 7.10 install on my powerbook with leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
