I downloaded lubuntu-12.10-alternate-powerpc.iso and burned it to a CD > then installed it perfectly, like so > then when I went to boot it up I got all the way to the boot screen, then after about 10 - 15 seconds it would disappear and the screen would stay black forever..

I captured it on video and uploaded it to YouTube so that you guys could see what I see.

I installed this on my slot-loading iMac G3 (indigo) with 512MB.
