Install Hoary ppc on Wallstreet (oldworld mac)?

[Rainer Gutkas]

I have sarge on the wallstreet in the moment, so it was no problem to 
set it up using bootx. Becasue of very low diskspace I'd like to switch 
to miboot.
It's no problem if the wallstreet runs warty. The display is broken, so 
I wanna setup this notebook as my main server. It doesn't need much 
energy to run, is a good and stable maschine. And it got only 2 Gigs of 
Harddiskspace, but a SCSI Connector. The thing why I wanna run Ubuntu on 
it is because the console is so well set up.
I would like to insall warty, but as I don't have a warty CD it's kind 
of a problem.

Thanks for the replies,

Rainer
