[Bug 1391019] [NEW] PowerPC downloads missing

[Scott Connerly]

Public bug reported:

I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on a PowerPC machine.

I started here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Which_Macs_are_compatible_with_Ubuntu.3F
which directed me to:

The installation guide I'm attempting to follow (and where I believe the documentation bug is)
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/powerpc/index.html

It directs me to download the *.iso files from here:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-powerpc/current/images
which yields a 404. Its as if the PowerPC section has been removed from the archive, or moved elsewhere.

While we're at it, whenever the solution is determined, we should probably share it with

as he has the highest ranked article on how to install Ubuntu on a PowerBook G4 (a popular PowerPC machine)
