Re: Installing Fedora Core 6 on Duo Core Mac

That worked. It took a few tries to get the Mac to boot to the DVD, but I
did install Fedora.

My only problem now is that I don't know how to get it to boot into Linux.
It keeps booting into OS X. Any idea how to change the operating system on
boot?

Thanks,
JM

the Mac?

Download the DVD .iso image, and burn it using a program that can create
disks from .iso image files. The resulting DVD should have several
files and subdirectories on it, not a copy of the .iso file.
