Swap out the CDRom with one from a Apple Computer...it'll save you hours of aggravation by allowing you to boot from any MacOS CD, and probably mean a faster CDRom drive to boot... so to speak. The 3rd party CDRoms used by PowerComputing need a 3rd party driver and are not recognized by Mac OS CD's other than possibly OS 7.6. There is a Resedit workaround available, but it means fiddling with the Mac CDROM code. If you're putting Linux on a Mac, you're likely geeky enough to want to consider this route...=) -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
