This document describes how to install Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" for the IBM/Motorola PowerPC and Apple Power Mac ("powerpc"). It is a quick walkthrough of the installation process which should contain all the information you will need for most installs. For instructions covering installation of Ubuntu on Old|World Macs, see Installation/OldWorldMacs.

[编辑] Booting the installer
- Download the CD image from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/ and burn it to a CD. Use the Disk Utility (or similar CD burner) to burn the CD - don't just open up the .iso file into the Finder and burn from there as this won't work!
PowerPC
- To boot the CD on "NewWorld" Power Macs (from the blue-and-white G3 onwards), hold down the c key when booting your computer, or else Command-Option-Shift-Delete. "OldWorld" Power Macs (beige G3 and older) will not boot from CD and are not currently supported by Ubuntu.
- If your mac does not react to the 'c' key (maybe because you have a third party wireless keyboard), follow these steps:
- boot into OSX, open a terminal
- sudo nvram autoboot?=false - this will get you into the openfirmware prompt when booting
- reboot
- at the openfirmware prompt, type: boot cd:,\\:tbxi
A netboot install is also available, but for now it is outside the scope of this document.
- Once the installer starts, you will be greeted with a simple boot menu.
- Press Enter to boot, or use one of the other boot methods described on this screen.
[编辑] First stage of installation
After a few moments, you will be asked to select your language.
- Use the arrow keys to pick a language and press Enter to continue.
- Next you'll be asked to select a country, with the choices including countries where your language is spoken. If it's not on the short list, choose "other" to see a list of all the countries in the world.
- You will be asked to choose your keyboard layout.
- Now sit back while the installer detects some of your hardware, and loads the rest of itself from the CD.
- Next the installer will try to detect your network hardware and set up networking by DHCP. If you are not on a network or do not have DHCP, you will be given the opportunity to configure the network manually.
[编辑] Partition your disk
- First you will be given the opportunity to erase and automatically partition an entire disk. This is recommended for new users, but if you have any valuable data on the disk, be sure to back it up first, as it will be erased!
- If you are dual booting with Mac OSX and Ubuntu, you should already have Mac OSX installed. This way the yaboot configuration will see the OSX install and automatically add it to the boot map options when you startup. To change the default OS see /etc/yaboot.conf.
- If you do not want to edit the partition table manually, and you are dual booting, select "use the largest continous free space."(Given that this is where you want ubuntu to be installed.) This will automatically partition the drive for you leaving your other OS untouched. (This also assumes you have your alternate OS already installed, and a large area of free space in which to install Ubuntu.)
- If you do not want to erase an entire disk, or if you want to customize the partition layout, choose "Manually edit partition table" from the menu, and the next screen will show you your partition table, how the partitions will be formatted, and where they will be mounted.
- Select a partition to modify or delete it. Remember to assign at least one partition for swap space, to mount a partition on /, and on modern Power Mac systems to create a NewWorld boot partition.
- Choose "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk" when you are finished.
- After confirmation, the installer formats your partitions and starts to install the base system, which can take a while. That is followed by installing a kernel, then by copying the remainder of the packages on the CD to your hard disk so that you no longer need the CD.
- The installer will now tell you that the first stage has finished. Remove the CD and hit Enter to reboot your machine. It should boot up into the second stage of the installation process.
[编辑] Second stage of installation
After rebooting, you will be prompted to complete the configuration of your basic system.
- Following a welcome screen, you will be prompted to configure your time zone. Depending on the location selected at the beginning of the installation process, you will be shown either a single timezone or a list of timezones relevant for that location. If a single timezone is shown, choose Yes to confirm or choose No to select from the full list of timezones. If a list is shown, select your timezone from the list, or select "other" for the full list.
[编辑] User account
- Enter your full name, then choose a username for the user account; generally your first name or something similar will suffice and indeed will be the default.
- Finally, choose a password. Note that the administrative "root" account is disabled; you may access it using the "sudo" program from the user account you create at this point.
- If your system is not connected to a network, you will be given the opportunity to set up PPP, which allows you to connect to a dial-up Internet provider.
- After this, a set of packages suitable for ordinary desktop use will be automatically installed. In the process, depending on your graphics card and monitor, one or two questions may be asked about the kind of graphics card you have and the screen resolution you would like to use.
- Go and get something to drink while the messages about package installation scroll by. When they finish, a graphical login screen will appear.
- Type the username you selected earlier, followed by the password for the user account, and the Ubuntu desktop will appear.
