I repartitioned my PowerBook G4 so it has an unallocated partition ready
for Linux.
I've downloaded the dayton-2.3-20020704-install.iso file and burned a CD on
a separate 9.2.2 system using Toast version 4 "disk image" popup
selection.
The disk mounts with volume name "YDL-2.3" and has a desktop folder on it.
It also says it has 441.3MB free. There is about 400MB of something burned
onto the disk (perhaps empty space). One glitch, though, is it won't then
eject because it's in use, even though I haven't done anything with it.
Anyway, when I attempt to boot with it by holding the "c" key, it doesn't
recognize it and just boots Mac OS X from my internal disk.
I also tried Disk copy to create another disk using the "burn image" menu
item. That one won't mount or boot.
There has to be something simple here that I'm missing and I'm hoping
someone will spot it for me. Thanks.
