Yagisanshould work as a client if it supports net-boot06:00
boricuaiirc ok i learn now what is iirc06:00
boricua:-)06:01
Yagisanyes, none of those is a mactel06:01
=== Yagisan is not a edubuntu dev
boricuai see  so the anwser is not YETTTTTT06:01
Yagisanbasically, yes06:01
boricuaMMM THE PC intel wont do either?06:01
Yagisanboricua: mactels use a different way to boot. they use EFI, while normal pc's use a BIOS.06:02
Yagisanthe cd's won't start on a mactel06:03
boricuaYagisan: on the g4 the iso cd should boot fine though?????06:07

boricuathis iso will not boot my g4 ibook any idea edubuntu-6.06-live-powerpc.iso09:55
DanielCwhat's the error?09:55
boricuai am not even sure if the boot order on the ibook has cd first its my sons ibook and i want to try to put edubuntu on it09:56
boricuaDanielC, no error just boots from HD09:56
DanielCah09:56
DanielCcheck the bios.09:56
DanielCit's probably set to boot from the hard disk first.09:56
boricuaDanielC, how do i chk the bios on ibook?09:56
crimsunI don't think ibooks have bioses.09:56
boricuai know the mac cd will boot when its in there09:57
DanielCI've never used an ibook but on other machines you get a message of the sort "press F2 for setup" before it starts the operating system.09:57
DanielCcrimsun: How is it possible for a computer to not have a bios?09:57
crimsunthere's efi09:57
DanielCwhat's efi?09:57
crimsunessentially a bios implemented differently09:57
boricuafirst my q? how do i get the ibook to boot the edubuntu cd iso09:57
DanielCcrimsun: then it's a bios.09:58
DanielCboricua: When you power on, do you see any message like "Press F2 to go to Setup" ?09:59
boricuano09:59
boricuaall i see is an apple09:59
crimsunDanielC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface10:00
DanielCI found something on Google but I can't make sense of the instructions:10:00
DanielChttp://www.computing.net/mac/wwwboard/forum/11478.html10:00
boricuai just ran into this let me try it http://seb.france.free.fr/linux/ibookG4/iBookG4-howto-2.html#ss2.210:00
crimsunDanielC: you can argue with its engineers whether it's bios or not10:01
