heheh, I had pretty much same trouble when trying to first install linux on a mac, coming from an intel only world... :) for me, it was easiest to use the floppy disks (as described in the manual), since I hadn't to mess around with boot flags and whatever. And: You can create the floppy disks also from an intel system (simply "dd if=<floppy-image> of=/dev/fd0"). bye Philipp
