Booting?
Sameh asked:
I have a bootable xubuntu disk. i want to boot and install xubuntu os from it (it is in my cd rom). i previously went to BIOS and changed to order of boot.(basically i made the pc boot from the hdd after it booted from the disk.)
but the problem is that now it takes 2-3 minutes trying to boot from the cd rom, then boots from the hdd (win98). basically, its skipping the boot from the cd.
I have another ‘problem’ with my cd rom. please read, it might be something to do with this:

oh, and i checked the bootable disk, and it works fine. i installed xubuntu as a second os on my other pc.
thanks. and ask me if specs are required.

12.5.08how does one boot up from a cd-rom drive on a mac g3?
lymber1 asked:
i know i need to upgrade the machine, but until i do i can’t get the mac to boot up from the cd-rom even when there is a bootable disk..
i have tried holdin down the “c” key but that did not owrk then i tried a couple of times “ctrl-option-shift-delete”
but that did not worked either… i even swapped the cd drive with a known working aopple cd rom drive……just for those who are curious i am installing xubuntu 6.10 or ubuntu for mac 6.06
i know that these os work on a mac cauase i have done it before but i for some reason cannot get this one to work…. it only wants to boot to the harddrive.

Richard H asked:
Do I have to extract the iso folder that looks like a zip folder?
