Dear All,

I followed the instruction found in the ftp download site to try to burn a
bootable HFS image of LinuxPPC.  However, it doesn't work.

I did pressed the 'c' key when I boot the iMac.

I downloaded the LinuxPPC_2000_FULL.image.bin and decompress it using
stuffit expander.

Then I followed the instruction in the readme to burn the CD using Toast.

When I added the expanded image to Toast, Toast automatically added 2
additional file which were Desktop DB and Desktop DF.  Did it matter?

Is there any tricks that I need to do in order to make the disk bootable?

Or, is there any settings needed to be set in Stuffit Expander when I tried
to expand the MacBin file?

Thank you for your help.

Bill

You need to click the button that says "Bootable" on the options window
of the image.  Its in toast.  By default its not selected, so unless you
select it, you won't be able to boot off the cd.

Thank you Geoff for your answer.

However, I could not find the setting you specified from Toast.  Is that
setting available on only in Toast Deluxe Version?  I am just using the
Toast 4.0.1.1 which came along with my Iomega ZipCD USB.

I could not do it at all with toast 4 oem. I finally had sucess with 3.5.7!
It seems that toast 4 does some odd checking of your current active system
folder to
decide whether the system folder you are burning is valid for booting.
I could not find a "bootable" flag in toast 4 oem. It is available in 3.5.7.
Fortunately my refurbished yamaha drive shipped with both versions of toast!
Anyway, toast 4 doesn't consider the system folder that ships with linuxppc
to be good, and creates an un-bootable image.
