I am installing Ubuntu 16.04 on my iBookG4, and the installation fails every time at the Select and Install Software stage.



From a similar question, I found this response by @klaus :




Press Alt+F2 to enter the BusyBox shell Change directory to
/target/etc/apt:



cd /target/etc/apt


Copy sources.list.apt-setup to sources.list:



cp sources.list.apt-setup sources.list Edit sources.list:

nano sources.list Comment out the line beginning with deb cdrom so it looks like this:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-... Upgrade packages:

chroot /target apt-get update
chroot /target apt-get upgrade


Press Alt+F1 to return to the installer, and start Software Selection




The point of failure is when I got to copy sources.list.apt-setup, as my system shows it as not existing.



Also, what software should I install if I only have the core of the system? Do I need to choose one of the other distros? (Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc.)
