Your welcome, Jeff, then my experience is very close to yours, adding that second mouse button and french keyboard did not work

I used Drive Setup to create 2 partitions: the first was hfs+ for my mac os. the second was unalocated. I went through the text install--it simply gave me 2 options--either use the whole disk or use the unallocated space. I chose to use the unallocated space. The rest of the install went well, until I reached the format bootstrap thing. Then it just kept giving me the error--partition 11 is not the correct format for a bootstrap partition (or something like that).
Re: iMac install, Jeff Hergan
to install with graphicall mode, just time at boot (after having held the key C as recommanded; you can as well check the specifications of your computer under Mac os, especially the video card... eg, "aty128" for me): install-video, or install-aty128 as indicated in the boot list. Yet my experience is that even going the whole installation with both disks, bootstrap is not recognized. My supposition is this one: either it is better to format oneself with drakx instead of using mac device; Mac formats in an "HFS+" partition whereas it is perhaps better to use only HFS. Mac OS does not give this possibility I think. Second possibility maybe to change the bootstrap system file: should it be HFS, HFS+ or Linux Native? Finally, you have keyboard problems as I had: I could not get french keyboard. But Mandrake is very close, I find to a great version for Mac. It makes me happy even if installation failed.
