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.
