Hi Chris, you'll want to use Disk Utility (or whatever it's called) to
burn the ISO. AFAIK it should work but the posting here saying that it
won't work may be correct (I use Toast to do my burning).

It's neither your computer, nor the Ubuntu CD that's preventing your
computer from booting Ubuntu. You need to burn the ISO to disk, but
NOT as a file!

I'm surprised others haven't piped in on this problem since there are
a number of PPC users on this list.

Also, check out the YellowDogLinux web site for comments on CD
burning. I know they have a HowTo on how to prepare the YDL CD for
booting & both distros will use more-or-less the same procedure to
boot on PPC.
