    Ok, What is the best way for me to get this installed ? I checked that website,
    but man ! is that the only way ? is there any short cuts you can show me.
    Why won't mac reconize the cd of xubuntu ? Any help would be so cool..

    It's just something you have to deal with on old Apple hardware, sorry. But once you get it installed, you never have to do it again -- it'll run forever.

    If I ever get that far.... I get this error message..
    Waiting for root files system, Then is says ( Alert) Root files does not Exist.
    Dropping to shell, Then it just freezes...
