How do I get Linux on Slot Loading iMac G3 350 running with Tiger OSX?

Hi,
How do I get Linux (Ubuntu) running alongside Tiger 10.4 on an iMac G3? I have a 350MHz Slot Loading iMac G3 Indigo currently running OSX 10.4. I would like to have Ubuntu and OSX on the same computer, so when I boot, I can choose which OS to boot into.
I have tried several times, but I can't seem to boot from the Ubuntu PPC CD. In the Ubuntu pages, it says that there are two types of iMac G3's. New style and Old Style. Supposedly New style ones are easier to have Ubuntu on it, but I don't know which I have.
Any help is appreciated.

The "new style" they refer to is probably distinguished by the type of optical drive it has. The two types are completely different designs (on the inside), but the most obvious visual difference is the slot-loading optical drive in the newer design, and the tray-loading optical drive in the older design.
As for Ubuntu, is it an old enough version you are trying, so that it works on PowerPC Macs. How did you burn the CD (?), because some of those old drives may have trouble with booting (or even reading) some CDRW media. CDR generally works

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • How do I get itunes to stop loading every few minutes on my computer? I X out of it and it comes r ight back.

    How do I get itunes to stop loading every time I turn on my computer? I X out  of it and it comes right back. I have tried everything, even had a computer expert try, no luck. I tried uninstalling itunes and tried a new download, it came right back. Very annoying. Help!

    Hello all,
    I am not in front of my computer but I will try to be clearer::
    plug your iphone or iPad with the USB cable in the computer
    it launches iTunes or  you launch iTunes directly.
    in the left colum , in the middle your equipemnt appears
    click on it
    the middle space will change and you will see horizontal tabs named home, ??, app, music, and so on
    click on the first tab and check all the space:: at the end, if I remeber well there is a check mark for manual sync
    or it is on the secon tab where you choose to sync mail accounts, notes etc... at the end the checkmark "manual sync" should be checked hence itunes will not sync by itself but only if you ask for it

  • How can i get a failed down load to re-try?

    does anyone know how i can get a failed down load of excel to re-try?  My excel is now messed up and I think it's related to this situation.  thanks for any help

    You can add a table that provide a list of items (that are in the pop up menu) and a corresponding value (shown on the right):
    In the table on the left you can refer to the table "Price List" to locate the item in column A, then retrieve the corresponding value from column B.
    B2=VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
    this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
    select cell B2, copy
    now select column B, then unselect cell B1, by holding the command key and clicking cell B1
    paste
    change the pop-up menus in column A as needed.

    The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
    Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
    You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
    Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.

    How do I get my photos on my iMac sent to my iPad and iPhone? Nothing seems to work. hurtalert

    Is your iMac the computer you normally sync your iPad to?
    If so put your photos into albums in iphoto on your imac. Then start iTunes on your iMac and connect your iPad to your iMac. In iTunes on your iMac select your iPad in the left column and selectPhotos in the right column. Scroll down and select the photo albums you want on your iPad. Then select Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. This will load the sleuthed photo albums onto your iPad. Do the same for iPhone.
