Comment 34 for bug 96480

"if they can manage to install" should say "if they can manage to boot the installer". I of course haven't tried that, but I believe they will not even be able to boot the Release installer. The instructions you put require a bootable kernel from the Release installer.

In order to install, someone would have to download the beta Feisty release with 2.6.20-12 or earlier and update everything but the kernel.

At my office we are all using Mac Pros and plan on having all of them triple boot. Right now, I am the only one triple booting. The rest are waiting on the full release of Feisty.

As of a few months ago, Feisty was the only distribution that worked remotely well on a Mac Pro. This will help Ubuntu gain quite a bit of market share.

This issue will affect all Mac Pro and some Acer users. For this reason, I urge you to reconsider this decision.
