I can now boot ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-powerpc.iso (a live CD) and it gets as far as starting X and the usual Gnome desktop session. Which is a great deal further than a week ago. Amazing work! The Gnome session is hard to use because it appears that the display is somehow spread out horizontally over 3 times as many pixels as it should be and thus the guest X display is wrapped around 3 times horizonally. (If that makes any sense). In the vertical dimension it seems OK though. J
