Hello,

I am new to this mailing list. I may have a question that may seem very basic for you.

I am having trouble on my PowerBook G4 Mac to burn a mac bootable CD for Fedora.

I downloaded the CDs from the site and the sha1sum program from:

I checked my download was OK:

sha1sum -c SHA1SUM.txt

FC-5-ppc-rescuecd.iso: OK

FC-5-ppc-disc1.iso: OK

FC-5-ppc-disc2.iso: OK

FC-5-ppc-disc3.iso: OK

FC-5-ppc-disc4.iso: OK

FC-5-ppc-disc5.iso: OK

Then I checked my cdrecord program was working fine by burning a copy of my original

MacOSX cd:

disktool -u disk2s2 ; cdrecord dev=IODVDServices driveropts=burnfree -sao speed=4 disk2.cdr

[...]

Track 02: Total bytes read/written: 2960891904/2960891904 (1445748 sectors).

Using system preference the disk shows as bootable, and I also try to boot (holding the 'C' key)

on my PowerBook G4  which worked fine.

Then I burned the disk FC-5-ppc-disc1.iso using the same command. The cdrecord burning

process worked fine but the disk is not bootable. neither does "system preferences" sees it

as bootable.

Could you please point me to the correct site, maillist or person that went through this process

and is sure that this particular iso on the site is actually bootable on macs.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Jean Casteres
