[lubuntu-users] Any feedback on reviving a G3 iBook PPC testingmachine??

[Peter Golis]

Hello Fritz,
I cannot imagine MAC OS X 10.3 install which looks like terminal you had mentioned. When I had last installed that OS from Apple, there was no terminal.
 
As I can remember your werbs from past months, you have also Ubuntu 12.04 and Lubuntu 14.04 installation CDs from early era when you had try to replace yaboot by grub without changing x86/64 to power architecture. Could you try that installation CDs? If installation will vork, you can upgrade to 16.04 if you want.

Peter:

Thanks again for the reply, I have a shot of it, which I sent to wxl . . . busy . . . imagine in your mind's eye if you will, the OSX installer . . . so the big "X" superimposed on the screen, the "to-do" list on the left . . . and the words "There were errors installing the software" in large bold letters . . . then, in smaller, unbold letters . . . "Please try installing again" . . . with the blue "restart" lozenge in the lower right . . . .

I've gotten this message I believe three times . . . once, then, taking the advice to "try installing again" and getting the same message . . . then again yesterday . . . but, much faster than the other two times . . . . .

@PG, et al:

Tried to boot to open firmware, not surprisingly it didn't work; I tried two times.  I got the 10.3 install CD out again and put it in the tray . . . that booted the installer . . . .  I clicked "install" . . . this time less than a minute later it error-ed out . . . "There were problems installing the software, please restart."  I took a shot of the screen showing that message . . . it's looking "terminal" . . . no?
