I have a Powerbook G4 and I'd like to install Ubuntu on it. Anybody know how?

Okay so what might I do if the screen just fades slowly gray from the left corner outward... when it asks "boot:" I hit enter ( it fills in the word "live" ). Is this wrong? :(

I used the 'live video=ofonly' command and I got as far as a black screen with the blinking line... then the line stopped blinking and it sounded like the cd drive was working, then stopping, then working, and so on...

Lol I know! Why is it so hard to install on a Mac, but so easy on a PC... I just can't boot into live cd mode... I'm getting irritated with it :\
