Installing Natty for PPC (Request for sticky...)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ty/+bug/756719

The live cd for ppc Natty hangs during installation because the mirror for the repos has no been set. I don't know if this can be changed from within the live session but I can confirm that the alternate installer works, you have to type

ports.ubuntu.com

as the mirror at the appropriate point.

Had the same problem. Will try with the alternate installer.
Where should I enter: ports.ubuntu.com ?

Thanks

Where is the ppc build for Natty? I can only find the daily build.
(I checked releases.ubuntu.com, cdimage.ubuntu.com.)


Thanks, dlgn

I just used the daily build pre-beta and keep upgrading - 'release' is a pretty arbitrary milestone!

In the alternate installer it asks for a mirror around halfway through the install. Just type in the ports.ubuntu.com line, accept default for the next input and I think that's the ast thing it asks for.
