You need a program to burn the iso image, it's not just a filesystem copy. Perhaps Disk Copy will do it, if not then Toast or with a linux machine, mkisofs. The iso has booting features which don't get copied in a filesystem copy. > Also the rescue file seems to be in an odd location to be able to boot > from it.

The powerpc doesn't use rescue.bin to boot, it uses yaboot, linux.bin, and root.bin. And you're not looking for bf24, you don't have a 386. Look in disks-powerpc, for a 2.4 kernel you want new-powermac. If it's not there, maybe you got an i386 CD set instead of powerpc? -- http://Www.TruthAboutWar.org Chris Tillman - Linux Rox -
