Hi, the 13.1 NET image for ppc32 doesn't boot on PowerMac; it's because the boot folder isn't "blessed". You can use mkisofs with the option -hfs-bless /suseboot to fix it (and -hfs needs to be added if it's not there), and the -map option with a small file with HFS type/creator mappings. (see attachment, which worked for me) Then the folder will be recognized as bootable, and the boot script named "os-chooser" will be recognized and executed. Peter
