[Fedora-livecd-list] Newbie Question on bootable iso images for FC5 on MacOSX.

[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
