Installing Fedora Core on the Mac mini...

[A. Savioli]

Hello there.
Your article "Installing Fedora Core on the Mac mini" by Colin Charles is 
pretty amazing and sounds just fine and easy. In fact I wish it would be 
that simple...
But, after trying a thousand times, I've given up installing my Fedora Core 
4 on my Mac mini. The reason: the mini WON'T boot from a DVD. (Specially a 
DVD that has nothing to do with "Apple" stuff... I just read this from a 
customer support page on Apple.)
So, my question is, could you please extend your article with a solution for 
this problem? I know that I'm not alone on this.
Thank you so much for your attention here.

Tony.

I very much disbelieve this, but would have to play with the firmware to
see.

On the dvd there is a boot.iso images/mac/boot.iso - copy that off the
DVD and burn as an image onto the CD (you can use diskutil to do this -
drag image into left hand pane and choose to burn it).

Untrue. I have a DVD sitting here and it boots just fine. Err, Tiger
only ships on DVD, fwiw, and it booted just fine too
