Re: Imac CD install problem
Probably of little help, but I saw the same problem occur at an install
party recently but on an Intel machine. Turned out the problem was a CD
burned when Potato wasn't stable yet or a wrong ISO-image, we never found
out. I popped in my copy of stable Potato and it worked.
Did you burn the CD from an ISO-image? --Hans
