[QUOTE="Baremeamoli, post: 1748442, member: 389431"] I am trying to install CentOS on an old PowerMac G4 (because I want to set up a FreeIPA server). I created a bootable USB drive with an iso image of CentOS with the following command in Linux: [I]dd if=CentOS-6.8-i386-LiveCD.iso of=/dev/sdb[/I] I plugged the drive into the Mac. As I heard the startup chimes, I pressed the option key and it got me to the boot options menu. There, however, I only see the hard drive, no USB drive. Why can I not choose to boot for the USB drive? [/QUOTE]
