I agree: if you already have a box running a linux distro. Of
course, in that case you really probably shouldn't need help burning
a disk image ;)
But to bring this back on topic: why make the disk image bootable?
Is that neccessary for yaboot or something? From my experience with
BootX and OpenFirmware installs (of SuSE, LinuxPPc, NetBSD, YDL, and
now MkLinux R1) there's no need for a bootable install disk. Or is
there some way to run linux without having _any_ Mac OS partition,
which requires a bootable install disk?
I thought even Yaboot required a small, fake mac os. So what's the skinny?
And btw: has anyone had any luck burning audio disks in DAO mode
using a Performa 6360 (603ev) with a Panasonic/Matsushita cw7502
using cdrdao, cdrecord or anything else? I can use this setup to
burn audio in TAO and to burn data but I always get IO errors and
interrupts when I try to burn DAO (which is why I'm installing
mklinux...to see if it will make my burner burn disks DAO).
I asked this same question of the guy who wrote cdrecord and he said
it seems to be a kernel bug. And I asked here but got no replies.
Anyone?
