Aloha all!
And, yes, I really did search first. I read the sticky thread entitled "where to download..." I went to the Wiki page on the subject.
And, after a few days of intermittent searching, the only links I can find that actually seem to have the needed files are the two on this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads
Problem is, both links are giving me DL speeds of under 1 KB/sec with estimated DL times of over 5 days. Even though I am actually that patient, experience tells me that it isn't going to work.
Since the file exists, surely it's somewhere accessible, yes? Anyone have a link to a site that actually will get me up and running in less than a week? Or, even more low-tech, a copy of a CD that they'd be willing to send me?
I've got a small fleet of old G3 iMacs that I want to get up and running and donate to a worthy cause.
Mahalo!
