So, the Ubuntu Live CD (DVD actually...) is up and running - just - in
the 512Mb RAM I have on this machine.
Question: I am not particularly concerned about keeping OS X on this
machine, so if I proceed to install Ubuntu does it know what to do with
regard to setting up yaboot or whatever mechanism it is that will allow
it to boot back into Ubuntu afterwards, or do I need to manually
configure some aspect of it myself?
Oh, I should probably add that it was the combination of the ISO image
burned to DVD plus a wired Logitech USB keyboard that eventually got me in.
