Burning ubuntu ppc iso on mac os x fails

[David McLaughlin]

Bizarre -- I thought it was just my machine, but I had the same problem,
too. I ended up burning it on another machine with MacOS9 and Toast.

For what it's worth, I had the same problem with the preview release and the
latest Sounder... (28th I believe?)
