trying to install on a Apple iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading - Fruit)

[Atsuko]

I grabbed the ubuntu-6.10-alternate-powerpc.iso and when I boot holding down the C key it just boots right in to OS X.
I burned it to a cdrw and the OS X finds it when the computer is running.
What have i done wrong or could do?
Going to grabbed the live cd and see if that helps?

I'm about to give up on this? anyone know how to do this?

When you open it in OS X, what files do you see (post a pic).

if you see the iso-file on the cd, you can't start from it!

you have to hold the c-key from the self-testing-sound until you see a prompt.

can you start from another cd, like tech-tools or osx-install-disc?
