First off, after I type "install" it says it can't write to some 00:00:02:00 or some such thing.
But waiting 30seconds or more and it starts in with asking me about my keyboard.

Everything works down to partitioning. (I ran into some trouble with guided LVM due to a lack of some apple partition for a boot loader I have never heard of, reboot.) I choose one partition this time. Don't need anymore anyways.
..
..
it is trying to install the base system. Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-depends --install var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_....deb. Did I burn it incorrectly? Clicking ignore. It crashes out after showing some more stuff to the menu.

I can't install the base system? What should I do? Reburn the disk? Try Feisty?

I'm pretty sure the iso's are broken. I've just spent the last 30 minutes reading posts about how they can't boot or they install incorrectly. I myself have spent the better part of a day burning, booting, redownloading and cussing. And I'm trying to run it on a machine that has never had a problem with ubuntu ppc live cd's. Sounds like the ppc port of gutsy needs a bit longer before it's ready.
