fedora core 2 instalation problems...

[zero000999]

Here's my problem... I have an old Ibook laptop running mac OS9. I want to install fedora core 2 on it. How do I do it?

P.S. It's not set up to detect an operating system from the CDrom Drive. How do I do this?

uh... i am not completely sure, but CAN you install fedora on a mac-lappy?
i do only know of ubuntu and yellow dog as mac-lappy compatible distros...

google: fedora core mac ppc. you will find some info on it...

just a few:
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html
http://osdir.com/Article833.phtml

and here to download the actual files:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/

not sure about your boot cd problem, but there is some inkling I think in the bytebot link above... also, I believe if you want to install without boot from cdrom you may have to put the necessary file(s) in the root dir of an OSX installation.
