Have a look at "what is cmov?" - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/126227-what-cmov.html

What are the basic specs of your computer?

OK. The heading is "Install fails on a MacBook". An OLD Macbook can be a PPC, whereas a NEWER Macbook can be an Intel.

If it is an old computer have you got a PPC version?

 The RAM memory is significant. I had a G3 and had to install Xubuntu because it needed less RAM. Do you know how much RAM you have?

Can you help with this problem?
