I was unable to boot the 14.04 from usb on a pb g4 17" while 12.04 did work - with the open firmware procedure Lars Nodden found out and posted here long time ago. I had to relay on the net-installer. In any case, i think the usb boot thru open firmware is quite fragile anyway. It would be nice to have the net-installer (for the ppc) including the broadcom firmware and a simple cli tool like ceni to manage a wireless connection. Or, if there are copyright problems, at least a short instruction how to personally build this part into the netinstaller (like a Lego toolkit ;) ). -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
