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

[Jean Casteres]

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
