[QUOTE="rmartinez, post: 664323, member: 22134"] I want to give a try to Linux and would like run it through an emulator before going through the whole partitioning of my very small HD on my iBook G4. First I have an iBook G4 1.2Ghz PPC with 1.25Ghz of RAM an a 30g HD. As you may know the specs are pretty much maxed out, RAM is full and HD expansion on this iBooks is a pain in the PATOOT. So what I have is all I can get from my trusty Mac. The problem is that Ubuntu is not installing on the emulator. I'm trying Q and VirtualPC and none is going through with the installation. I've been scouring the web on forums and sites looking for instruction or anything that will give me a clue about why is not installing but to no avail. I know a little about computers but on this I don't have the knowledge to decipher what is wrong. Here's an image of what comes up after creating the PC and doing all I know I'm supposed to do. [IMG]http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/4/734299/Q%20Screenshot%201.png[/IMG] I have dowloded various version of Ubuntu and tried it With the .ISO and a bootable CD that I burned myself. Can anybody Help? [/QUOTE]
