Great !

Could you give some hints to install it please ?
Download link, kernel required in the CF card, CFE command to boot initrd,etc.

Maybe that I will be more lucky than with the previous 14.10 :D

Unfortunately you need an installed (L)ubuntu 14.10 for Ubuntu MATE :-( If you have an installed (L)ubuntu 14.10 then you can install the MATE packages with apt-get or something like this. For the Ubuntu-MATE splash screen, artwork, icons, and themes you have to add the Ubuntu MATE PPA to the sources.list.

/etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

Hey Xeno.

The linked Iso is not installable.
The installation aborts with: disk detection failure.
I used a separate disk.

The only option is to install LUbuntu and then the MATE Desktop?

I'm sorry it's only for Power Macs. :-(
