Actualy you are reading it. I didn't know what kind of system you had and
mistakenly presumed you had oldworld. I appologize.
And after reading over it, it does appear booting off the cd is the only
provided solution.
I can't seem to find any alternatives to booting off the cd, which leaves
you needing to burn that iso properly. You said you use toast titanium, did
you burn this image by going to the far right button in the toast window,
clicking and holding to get the submenu, and selecting disk image?
This is how I burned it and I didn't have trouble, but I didn't attempt to
boot of the cd either...
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I also like Mari Masuda's idea of using a
pc to burn it, but also look around toast and its help files and see if you
can find information on making a cd "bootable". Another alternative if
toast won't make an iso image cd bootable is to mount the iso, copy its
contents to a new cd, and manualy make that cd "bootable".
good luck,
Scott Shanafelt
