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).
So, what do I need to do to make a bootable usk disk from the net install ppc iso ?
Macs can not boot from USB devices. Use BootX, which can load the vmlinux and initrd files.
