First of all, I'll confess I know virtually nothing about Macs. Although I always thought they were cool, I never had the $ to spend on buying one (college student, so you know how that goes). Well yesterday I had the really neat opputunity of being able to buy four Power Mac G4s and a G3 iMac for $25 a piece. I couldn't turn it down =) (besides, they're for a linux network at my church so its for a good cause)

So the problem I'm having is this: I am trying to install Fedora core 4 on them, the install process goes just fine, but when after the system reboots all I get is a smiling mac and a question mark. The computers I have had the harddrives wiped, so I'm starting with no OS on the system (and I don't have any copies of a Mac OS laying around). I can't find anything on the web that has helped much, all I've found assumes you already have a working Mac OS on your computer.

So what do I do to get the computer to be able to boot FC4 after installing it?
