Title:
  installation guide needs to point to ports.ubuntu.com for PowerPC
  images

Status in “installation-guide” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on a PowerPC machine.

  I started here:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Which_Macs_are_compatible_with_Ubuntu.3F
  which directed me to:

  The installation guide I'm attempting to follow (and where I believe the documentation bug is)
  https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/powerpc/index.html

  It directs me to download the *.iso files from here:
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-powerpc/current/images
  which yields a 404. Its as if the PowerPC section has been removed from the archive, or moved elsewhere.

  While we're at it, whenever the solution is determined, we should probably share it with 
  https://www.jeremymorgan.com/tutorials/linux/how-to-install-linux-ppc-powerbook-g4/
  as he has the highest ranked article on how to install Ubuntu on a PowerBook G4 (a popular PowerPC machine)
