Ditched the desktop and went for a shiny new iBook always with the
intention of getting Linux onto it even if I know that Airport, for
example, is still not supported.
Had this bit of kit a couple of months and must say I'm quite impressed
with OSX but missing Linux a lot. One issue with the Mac is that I can
find very little free or affordable software. This is where my problems
have set in. Have downloaded the ISO images for both Yellow Dog and
Debian only to find that burning to a CDR is very hit and miss under
OSX. I am aware of a program called Toast but at €79 this quite frankly
scares me to death. I have managed to achieve one bootable Yellow Dog
CD, after creating many coasters, but the install will fail on the
second image (documentation on burning with supplies OS software I have
found to be pretty non-existent)
I am not looking for the solution to my OSX problem here, I'm trying to
establish that under the Apple forums, but does anybody, in Dublin City
Centre area, have some up to date Yellow Dog or Debian PPC CD's that
they could burn for me?
Any help appreciated
