[Bug 886518] Re: Installation failed because it could not find the Mirrorserver for powerpc

[Alessandro Menti]

Hi Jens,
it seems that the PowerPCDownloads page for Ubuntu 11.10 got fixed once and for all. You can now download a minimal CD, install a very basic version of Ubuntu and download and install the other packages you want later.

As for the original bug, could you please download a "daily" build of
Ubuntu 12.04 from <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/>, try
to install it in a virtual machine like VirtualBox and see if the
problem occurs again? If yes, please state so and specify the date that
appears next to the ISO file in the "Last modified" column of the
download page. Thanks!

Bug description:
  I was trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 (it actually says 12.04 LTS /
