Ubuntu 6.06.1 Live-CD on PowerMac G5: won't work?

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

I wanted to try out Ubuntu on my PowerMac G5, downloaded the CD image, burned 
it - and something doesn't quite work.

It does boot, but it doesn't get very far. At the point where it shows a dark 
red screen background with a white mousecursor it ends. I can move the 
cursor, but that's it. Nothing else happens. I waited for about 10 minutes, 
then gave up and rebooted into MacOS X.

Any ideas what's wrong?

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller
