Thanks for the effort. Should the 32-bit CD work for a PowerBook G4 Titanium? It 
fails to boot on my machine, which has Mint 9 dual booting with OS X 10.4.

On power up, I get the normal "First Stage GNU/Linux Bootstrap" heading, 
followed by the normal "Press l for Linux", etc. When I choose "c" for CDROM, I 
get "Booting CDROM" that quickly results in a screen flash that looks like a 
restart, followed by a repeat of the bootstrap prompt. The second time, the 
machine hangs after the "Booting CDROM". One time, I got a "Catch FFFFFFFF" 
printed. When it hangs, the CPU is busy as the fan runs at high speed.

Any other debugging that I can do?
