Public bug reported: I was trying to install ubuntu using a powerpc desktop disk. Latest version. I have a powerbook 15" G4 1.67Ghz 1.5GB RAM. I was trying to install it to a firewire external drive.
I would like to try and get this working as I presume there are others who would like to do this. Thanks, John Error message: Failed to install bootloader Then: We're sorry; the installer crashed.
