unrecognized Client Program Format

Post#1 by Floralcrest » 25 Jul 2017, 11:24

Hi, guys. No matter what I do, my Powerbook G4 12" is giving me the "unrecognized Client Program Format" error, and never gets to square one. I am attempting to boot from USB, and have tried all of the following dists:
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-i486.iso
porteus-kiosk-v2.1-i486.iso
and
Porteus-Kiosk-3.7.0-i586.iso

Not knowing what file to boot, I have tried most of them.
Is there something obvious here that I have missed?
Thanks!

This is 'Power PC' architecture. It wont work with Porteus.

Sorry about that.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know whether there is any other build of Linux which might run from USB on a Powerbook with no HD?
