I think the other poster was right about Apple_HFS and HFS+. In any case, it sounds like your setup should work now. Which debian-imac release are you using, the 2.2 or 3.0? Perhaps there's been some corruption of the yaboot binary or something. When you dragged the 4 files, you put them on the disk icon for the Shared partition, not on the desktop, right? -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
