PowerPC Problem

[Simon Royal]

Hi

I am attempting to install Ubuntu 6 on my PowerBook Titanium 400Mhz  
with 1GB of RAM.

I have a 60GB drive installed with the following partitions:

39GB - Tiger
03GB - OS9
08GB - Panther

I have 5GB of free space, of which I had split into two further  
partitions a 4GB (for the system) and a 1GB (for the swap).

I boot from the CD and click the install icon on the desktop. I  
choose to manually select partitions, set the "/" for the 4GB and the  
"/swap" for the 1GB and I tell it to reformat these partitions. About  
15% the way through installation I get an error message 'No NewWorld  
boot partition found'.

What am I doing wrong, can anyone help?

I tried this about a year ago on my PowerBook G3, dual booting with  
Ubuntu/Tiger and it worked fine. Tiger was installed first and it  
booted fine using LILO between the two. But my G4 is proving a little  
troublesome.

Regards
