| summary | This webpage provides a step-by-step guide for installing Ubuntu 4.10 (also known as Bartlett) onto a Year 2000 Power Macintosh G4 computer using a USB bootable drive. The author, May Durst, has licensed the content under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, allowing for free use and adaptation, provided attribution is given to her.
The process involves creating a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu 4.10, as direct installation might not be feasible due to hardware limitations of the Year 2000 Power Macintosh G4. The guide includes:
1. Downloading and preparing the Ubuntu 4.10 ISO image. 2. Creating a bootable USB drive using tools like Rufus (for Windows) or dd (on Unix-based systems). 3. Booting the Power Macintosh G4 from the USB drive. 4. Partitioning the hard drive, possibly via the terminal, to accommodate Ubuntu's installation requirements. 5. Starting the Ubuntu 4.10 installation process using the bootable USB drive. 6. Configuring system settings and installing desired software post-installation.
The primary audience is users with experience in Linux or Unix systems looking to install an older version of Ubuntu on compatible hardware, as well as enthusiasts interested in retro computing and system upgrades for legacy Macintosh models. |
