I'll like setup dual boot on my MAC G4 . I have a MAC G4 867 mhz titanium running osx Panther. Ihave tried to install Ubuntu but I have had no success so far. It just will not boot from the cdrom. I have tried to hold down the control and C keys without success. I tried ipartition without success. Any suggestions?

defender, this may be a crazy question but are you sure you have the image on the cd correctly? The reason I ask is because I went through 4 disc before I got it right. I have dual boot on my 15" aluminum and it runs great.

Thanx guys. Still have not made any progress. I have two mac machines, I installed ubuntu on my g4 450 mchine without problem. I have tried holding down the c key .I have also tried different cds.
