I have a couple questions i need answers. I have a clamshell ibook and plan on installing linux mandrake on it. I have downloaded the iso, but my crappy ibook cr rom is unable to read the cd when i burn it. The cd-rom is not all that great on the clamshell ibooks. I was wondering if i could install from an external cd burner? The second question when i burn the cd and put them in my external cd-rom it says the fdormat is unreadable to mac. I burn them as disk images with toast buring software. What's the problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

your os might be an issue...
os 9 depenending on the release ex.9.0, 9.04, 9.1, &
9.2
most all discs are readable in 9.2 but some aren't
your cd-rom drivers also may need to be updated...
u can get the latest drivers from the apple site
u might wanna upgrade your os to at least 9.2 if it
isn't already... if your problem cant be solved by this
info e-mail me and i'll see what i can do...
