Blaine:
I am also curious about this problem (but I run a wintell box).
Is your CD bootable from your Apple PowerBook?
Are the Wintell box and the G4 networked? If they are, could you
initiate the burn process from the wintell machine?
Do post the solution when you find it. Thanks.
Regards
Harsha Godavari
