hm. strange. I think, I've just have downladed the image from the official ubuntu page:
either this:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/ubuntu-8.10-server-powerpc.iso
or this:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/8.10/release/xubuntu-8.10-alternate-powerpc.iso
but I can't remeber exactly. It's already too long ago
However, both should work but you need the boot-image from:
http://genesi.hu/ubuntu/
Otherwise, it will not work. Maybe, you not even need the cd images because the genesi-linux-installer downloads everything from net? Damn, I should have written down the details to help updating the PegII docu.
Actually, I'm posting this right now under
Linux 2.6.25-2-powerpc #1 Tue Sep 30 14:49:00 UTC 2008 ppc GNU/Linux
so I'm not hallucinating
