Actually, I think the biggest problem I will have is that I will need
access to a PowerPC on which I can install Ubuntu to the hard drive,
if I'm understanding the instructions correctly. This may prove tricky
to find. At any rate, thanks for the suggestion, it's quite close to
what I was hoping to find!

Thanks for the suggestion. Feraga looks very nice! I suppose the
advantage of using a USB pen drive is that you can save more
costumisations than with a livecd plus USB pendrive combination.

I fear it may be a bit late for this solution too, though, because I'm
already travelling and away from domains where I can have stuff
installed on the hard drives. I'm already using my Knoppix CD at the
moment... I should have thought about taking care of this business
earlier.
