I think I know what the problem is.
You aren't supposed to mount or otherwise alter the image file that
you downloaded. So:
1. Make sure you downloaded in binary format (not ascii).
2. Open Toast and choose "Disk Image" as the type instead of ISO.
3. Drag the raw disk image (not one of those mounted ones you made)
to the Toast window. Or you can click the data button and choose the
disk image.
4. Write the image.
At least that's the way I did it with the last image. Again, let me
emphasize that if you altered the raw image that you downloaded in
any way you'll need to download it again. FWIW, I downloaded the
MkLinux R1 disk image this morning in 10 minutes on my cable modem
from one of the mirror sites. Hope you're not stuck in 25k land. : |
