Hi I tried getting Ubutnu 10.10 for two days to no avaial and decided to install Yellow Dog Linux figuring its got better repos and support. I am insalling on a ppc G4 mirror door dual 1.25ghz with 1gig ram. It has the original cd drive and a non nativly supported dvd rw. Problem is the It hangs on the icon on booting the dvd drive and the cd drive will not read the dvd witch is a 4 gig dvd -rw. Tried option, c, resetting the pram to no avail. I am thinking of making a bootable usb to do it but need instructions, ubuntu has a wiki entry but read ubuntu install methods do not work and they are dated from years ago. Help would be apreciated.
I am basicly making a media center to play movies in 1080p and listen to music and can not find a mac dvd player that can size the screen properly.
