Re: making a cd bootable for a mac
hi,
I'm in the same boat and when I try booting from the cd i get a message
that says "The disk "Debian 2.2r0i386 Bin-1" cannot be selected as the
startup device because it does not have a valid System Folder or the disk
driver software does not support startup selection".
so yes, it would be very nice to learn how to boot from it anyway....
thank you,
harold
