So, I have a problem. I downloaded the Fedora 11 ISO in hopes of installing it on my spare computer. Unfortunately, the computer I'm downloading it on (macbook pro) uses an Intel dual-core processor with i686 arhitecture, while the computer I want to burn to is running a P4 with x86. I can't mount the x86 ISO to burn it to a disk on my mac, and my PC won't run the i686 one. Any way I can burn the x86 ISO to a disk from my mac? |

Why do you need to mount it? Is that a mac thing? (I've never burned an iso on a mac) It shouldn't matter that they're different architectures. I'm pretty sure I burned an x86_64 fedora 11 iso on my 32bit fedora computer. [edit] Doesn't x86 mean i686, i486, and i386? |

He doesn't, no it's not.

WAIT. Before you do anything else, can you find out if the ISO is written as a low- or high-endian image? Depending on where you downloaded it you may also have what's called "mid-endian", which you can tell is the case if the file seems about 50% larger. Do you know what firmware version your burner has? With newer ones you don't want to make a mistake here. I'm assuming you are using Leopard, open a terminal and execute
and it should give us something to go on. In the future, try and avoid downloading ISOs using a different OS than they're made for. You've probably got the Apple Care warranty so worst case scenario it's a lesson learned. |

I thought an ISO was a standardized image format. |

What do you mean by this? Mac OS has no issues with ISOs if that's what you're saying. rizzix wrote: I thought an ISO was a standardized image format. Yeah, but I think it can be encoded in different ways kind of like a text file. |

lol, don't I look stupid. At any rate, OSX needs to mount the image to burn the iso without putting the ISO inside another ISO. Or something like that that I read on the interweb. And it won't mount. Says it's 'unrecognized'. Regular burning takes the files, writes them to iso and then burns them. If I burn the iso like any other file, it will write the iso to another iso and then to the disk. I need to skip the part where it writes the file to an iso. |

I can't guarantee these are accurate steps (I don't have a Mac and can't test them), but this seems to be the kind of thing you're looking for. |

I was using disk utility. I hit file ->open disk image -> the iso and it said it 'Unable to attach Fedora-11-i686-live.iso. The file is not recognized' |

Did you download it fully? It may be corrupted. Check the MD5 checksum on it. |

As much fun as it is to bullshit, I will say that you're doing it wrong after all. Or at least, here's how I've been doing it right: Open Disk Utility. Go to the Images menu, select Burn, find the image file, you can probably work it out from here on your own. EDIT: No wait, I mean make sure you download the OSX version of Fedora. |

The osx version? That will install on a PC right? At any rate, that way doesn't work either. |
