Ubuntu live CD - nervous!
|
|
|
What should actually happen when you boot from an Ubuntu live CD? Pismo,
Ubuntu warty, burned from .iso using Toast Ti 5.2. Put the cd in,
alt-booted to get into OpenFirmware. Sure enough, see penguin icon.
Selected that, then screen went dark grey with seven or eight vertical
bands. These just sat there for a looong time getting gradually
darker...
.... at which point I crapped out thinking 'oh no, Linux is frying my
display', and turned it off. Should I have just waited? Or what should
happen?
Ta,

Not sure the ubuntu livecd supports the pismos. You should check that.

So I guess nobody knows...

i d/l the live Ubuntu iso and burned it to disc using Toast Titanium 6.
loaded the disc into the drive (this is on a 400 MHz Blue and White)
and restarted while holding the c key down.
everything worked as it should have, booted into Ubuntu. worked fine,
though sluggish because of running off the CD rather than HD, i guess.
fully functional, logged onto the web, tried out other features, no
problems.
sorry, i don't have enough knowledge of linux to help you, but it
worked for me, so maybe there's hope for you.
As someone said, check and see if your machine is supported.

I too wonder if your machine is supported. I have had no success with |
my beige G3 which I think may be contemporary with your pismo. I was
able to get the i386 version to boot and partially install on an old
pentium mmx box but the serial mouse was not recognized. I had little
choice but to power down and start over. Ubuntu, being a relative
newcomer, Seems to not support some of the older hardware. You might
want to try a Debian release or some other flavor entirely. There are
live cds for some other flavors if you prefer to go that route.
