it is possible to create new world bootable cd's without driver partitions. there are just a bunch of hfs details to worry about. look at the bootable debian cd build process (it's a hybrid bootable only on new world i believe)
also it is possible to have toast create an old+new world bootable cd image with a size of 650M and from linux repopulate it and burn the result. sorry if i have the details missing here but i did get this to work. what *didn't* work for me was trying to have mkhybrid steal a driver partition from a real bootable cd to simplify doing everything from linux. this functionality is marked as experimental code and may or may not see more devel work. brad > On Fri, Aug 10, 2001 at 09:39:24AM +0200, Otto Wyss wrote: > > Just curious if it's possible to burn standard MacOS bootable CD's on > > Linux?
