Hi Devon, the PPC guys on the testing mailing list[1] would most likely be better placed to assist on PPC issues. For your Toshiba install, we do need a bit more information. To play things completely safe with an elderly computer, could you install the 10.04 Lubuntu [2] onto it so that we can get some information about the computer?
