ancient ibook; want ubuntu
I have this ancient iBook from 1999. You know, the clamshell. I'm not a total tard with computers, as I can usually do what I'm trying to do with a nudge in the right direction. I've put Ubuntu on four or five computers, but I can't get this iBook to boot up on Ubuntu. I've followed all the steps to put 11.04 on a CD, I put it in, and I've found a few ways that were supposed to help me get the mac to boot, and nothing helped. When it starts up, I only get a screen with a folder in the middle that blinks from a question mark to a face.
Just, anybody who can tell me how to do it, please? I have the CD, I have the computer with the charger (as well as a Dell sitting right next to it), and I have a bit of patience left.
