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: http://www.paulstimesink.com/post/2005/07/30/sha1sum_for_mac_os_x
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

Hello,
I am a newbie on this list; my original assumption was that since Kadischi goal is to widely distribute fedora based on LiveCDs, there could be a person on the list that owns a Mac and maybe could help me, or give a hint, on the reason why the CD I created (actually burn from an iso image) was not seen as bootable by MacOSX.
Could you let met know if this is the correct place to ask this kind of question or recommend a better place ? Or wait until mac owners are back from vacation ;-)
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jean Casteres

Kadischi is not used to make the CDs you tried to burn and boot. I think you want fedora-ppc-list or similar.

Hello Jasper,
Thank you for this information but I looked and this list does not seem to exists. There are discussions on a server that is not responding (lists.infradead.org).
Would liveCD be able to synthesize a bootable CD for Mac ?

I do not believe Syslinux is ported to PPC Fedora Core yet, not last I checked it won't compile on PPC.
