CentOS 4 Install on macbook...Help!!
 
Hi,

I have begun to try and install CentOS 4 on my macbook G3. I get all the way through the install process and then after a reboot, my macbook flashes a folder icon and a question mark. Nothing else. Does anyone know what I need to do to mac it start the boot process?

I created my root directory /, boot directory, home and swap in disk druid. The rest was a standard install.

Thank you

Well, CentOS 4 is old...the latest is 5.3 I believe, so if this is a new install, get the latest version, and save some headaches later.

This tutorial:

Should help get you going. I'd also not partition the disk with any other tools, but let the installer do it for you.
