TOPIC: How to burn a YDL Install CD using Mac OS "Toast"

Introduction
This HOWTO is to guide the creation of a Yellow Dog Linux Install CD (ISO) on a Mac using Mac OS and "Toast" software.

Let's get burning!
After downloading your image into your MacOS (or OSX) desktop, do this:

Make sure your blank CD-R is at least 670MB+ capacity.
Check the size of the ISO by locating the ISO on the Mac OS desktop, hi-light it, and then:
APPLE-COMMAND-I

... produces the filesize as follows (with the Dayton 2.3 as an example):
```
	dayton-2.3-20020704-install.iso
	Kind: ISO disk image 
	Size: 646 MB on disk (667,478,400 bytes)
	(etc.)
	
```
Launch Toast. On the main and only window of the Toast "Titanium" application you are presented with the following icons of the Toaster Settings:
```
	Data
	Audio (to copy audio content)...
	Copy (to copy one disk onto another) ...
	Other
	? (help)...
	
```
Select Other

Under Other or the next to the last icon on the toaster window we have the following choices available in this submenu:

	Video CD
	MP3 Disc
	DVD
	Disk Image
	-----
	ISO 9660
	Custom Hybrid
	-----
	CD-i
	Enhanced Music CD
	Multitrack CD Rom XA
	-----
	Device Copy

Select Disk Image (Notice it is NOT ISO 9660)
You now have the following options: Select, Mount, and Burn.
1. Select the downloaded "dayton-2.3-20020704-install.iso" image.
2. Mount it (make certain it is mounted!).
3. Record.

And it is that simple. Don't you love your Mac, now ENJOY your YDL LINUX, the best is yet to come.
