Trying to install Xubuntu on iMac G3/333

I have been trying to install Xubuntu on G3/333 but to no avail at this point. Sort I should take memo here so that at least it will all be in one place.

iMac is my wife’s old computer that was sitting in the basement. I wanted to recycle this and maybe give it to my son, who is interested in computer and ununtu comes with It is the Apple iMac G3/333 (Fruit Colors, Strawberry)(M7440LL/A*) and only have 128 MB RAM on it (I think… maybe 64, I need to check it out).

• I got the Xubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) powerpc disc image from this URL
• I had to do this, because of “No common CD-ROM drive was detected” error: Switch to a second console pressing ctrl+alt+F2
  Press Enter to activate that console and type modprobe ide-scsi via this URL
• Ubuntu powerPC known issue wiki is very useful.

I still have long way to go so more to come…
