You should probably know that if you want to really use your
MacOS files from within Linux, then your Mac partition should
be HFS and not HFS+. Secondly, 800 MB might be too small
for a Linux install, depending on what kind of install you do.
I can't help you with your CD-burning issues, as I've never
done it. I always feel a lot more confident in an install done
from an official Yellow Dog CD than from a home-made one, given my
nearly limitless capacity to screw things up.
Good luck,
Andy
