Aloha,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 5.10 on a iBook G-3. The curve is that the optical drive is shot, so I have booted from firewire mode from my G-4. So I can see the iBook hard drive which I had to wipe clean.

Can Ubuntu still be installed? How do you run the installer manually? Is there a how to any where?
