Thanks Raring mini boots and installs base fine on iMac G3 600 R128 Ultra without issue. If I understand Phil's comments, that should be logged under Raring Daily netboot iso test and I will do so. BTW: I can also confirm successful sudo tasksel of Lubuntu desktop excepting the usual xorg workarounds on this hardware.
In case it helps others trying install from mini.iso: If tester is going for Lubuntu desktop (or others,) might be a good idea to add "sudo apt-get update" prior to "sudo tasksel." If not, the only option related to Lubuntu is Lubuntu live CD. No idea what that is supposed to do from tasksel, but it does not install xinit. If apt-get update is run first, then Lubuntu Desktop (and others) is an option and installs fine. May also want to note to unmark all others in tasksel. Several other desktops are marked by default.

It should refer to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1499/info of which http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1500/info seems to be a duplicate of? and not http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1465/info The Mini (network) install test cases should only be to tested to the point that it reboots okay. It is for the flavours (teams) to discuss how to proceed with adding what they want onto it (LAMP, Mail-Server, Lubuntu etc. etc.) from the tasksel listing. This is what lubuntu does in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Me thod As there seems to be 'test-cases' for mini-iso, that are actually nothing to do with testing the actual successful installation of it. These additional tasks are a function of the application tasksel and should be moved to 'optional' or even to 'applications-testing' and away from iso-tracker. We can advise on the options available in tasksel and people can log in and use tasksel to install what every they want. @ Nicholas, can I have your views on this? Regards, Phill.

By netboot do you mean simply installing by booting mini.iso? or setting up a netboot server on my end and booting/installing from that?

Does this mean testing PPC 13.04 beta 1 alternate would be a waste of time? When installing on older (G3) hardware, I usually prefer the alternate due to they usually also have low ram.
