So, I've got the live/install CD burned. My iBook 300 hates it, I think it's just the CDR it hates. The blue G3 300 also doesn't like it. It'll read the disc, but not boot it. Holding C will attempt to boot from the disc, but it fails and continues booting into OS X. At the Ubuntu site, it says that 192MB of RAM is required to install, but is it required to boot? If so, that's it, since it's only got 128MB. Gaugh.

Dark_Me:
You did download the PPC version right?

piratePenguin:
I think there's some way to use the old menu-based installer which uses waaay less memory. Dunno if you can do that on the desktop version or if it's only the server version...

Not that it helps you, but I installed Ubuntu on my G3 900 iBook with 640MB RAM quite successfully.  The live cd ran just fine too, but it was so slow it reminded me of a 286.

hm_murdock:
It boots perfectly on the G4 dual 500 with 1GB of RAM :p

It won't boot at all on the blue G3... it reads the disc, switches to the white OpenFirmware screen, then straight on to the OS X boot screen.

On my iBook 300, the drive doesn't like the CDR media so fuck that.
