[Bug 1043066] Re: Test Case dwi001- Full disk install PPC Alternate- 12.10. Yaboot installation failure

[ojordan]

I just installed okay using the file.....?....I haven't got a suitable
USB drive to test though (sigh).

What I did:

Download file
Open postinst file in leafpad

Open yaboot-installer using command:
gksudo leafpad /usr/share/ubiquity/yaboot-installer/yaboot-installer

Delete contents of yaboot-installer
Transfer contents of postinst to yaboot-installer using copy/paste.

Save, close and run ubiquity.
