OK - Linux newbie here, so forgive me.

Recently came by a Mac G4. 2 x 500Mhx processors with 1G RAM. Nice. Loaded with OS 9.0.4. Old! Not nice! As I have no real use for the thing I figured this would be a good machine to start learning about Linux on.

Downloaded Fedora 6. Burned the CD images. Loaded from the CDs and everything wen't just fine. Got to the page that says congrats you've finished the install- reboot your machine. Removed the CD and clicked on the reboot button. Very excited thinking hey this is easy!

Nothing....

I just get the MAC screen telling me it can't find an OS (folder icon that alternates to a '?').

I figure that the install has completed but that the machine cannot find anything to boot from. I used the default partitioning and boot values. I've tried monkeying around with different boot sectors, partitions etc. but nothing good to report.

I've spent the last couple of evenings searching the web to see if anyone else has ever had this with no luck.

So - am I doing something dumb?

Many thanks!
