Comment 18 for bug 476234

I'm getting this on a Sparc Ultra5 with Ubuntu 10.04, Kubuntu 10.04.
I tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 which gets further but then consistently gets "Select and Install Software: Installation step failed"

In every case MD5 checksums all OK, tried burning multiple CDs at various speeds. All verified OK

Cannot find a Sparc version of 6.06 to download. So it looks like I'm destined not to be able to run ubuntu on this machine.

I'm new to linux/unix and don't have the time to mess around with Solaris or non GUI operating systems.

I'd like to try Suse 7.03 (seems to be the last SUSE for SPARC) but although I can find links to web sites that purport to have the ISO files the links are all broken.

I also cannot believe that these releases are in this condition.
