Hi,

A friend of mine want me to install linux on his old ppc-powered
laptop mac. However, his cd-rom reader is broken and can't be used so
my plan was to make a net install using a usb stick to boot (if that's
possible).

I've found some howtos on the wiki, which tells me
- either to use some script (makeSuseBootDisk or something like that)
that does not work with ppc (didn't try, I just looked at the help
section in the script)
- either to copy all files from the boot/<arch>/loader directory from
the cd and do some weird stuffs afterward, but there is no loader
directory on the ppc mini-iso.

So, what do I need to do to make a bootable usk disk from the net
install ppc iso ?

Thanks in advance.


Thomas

PS : I've posted a similar question on the forums, but the response I
got didn't convinced me.
