I own an imac power pc g3, currently running linux yellow dog. I would like to install a newer version of ubuntu for power pc g3. however i am wasting to much money and time on burning cd/dvds. Is there a way to install from the iso without burning it to cd. i have tried to extract files directly from the iso itself. But no luck at this time.

I would just use a disc cause if you plan on using this OS for long term then it stills beats the price over buying a OS. With Ubuntu they will send you a free disc but you cannot be picky about how long it takes to get there.

note: if the ESC step does not work then you must press F2 and go into your bios then scroll along the tabs and find boot order and use the relevant arrows to change the boot order to boot from usb stick.

Also your computer must be wireless in order for joli OS to work !
