Please i really need help it wont even open up the white apple logo screen it just keeps rebooting.
I tried typing -v and all it does is load a couple things then reboots again..
Also how big is the file supposed to be on the dvd? when i burn he iso it burns everything but when i look at the dvd filesize it is only 542 KB? If it is wrong , can someone explain to me how to burn it like what programs to use.

try writing "-v" option at boot prompt and let us know what happens?

The thing is for you to tell us what is shown as the last message, before the reboot.

Hi Der
I am too getting the same msg as in
- I downloaded iatkos v1.0i ... mounted using daemon tools, magiciso, ultraiso.
- It only shows 542 kb checked md5 for errors its perfect no errprs or corrupt.
- When popped drive it keeps rebooting saying darwin x86 starting and 3 more sentences and apple gray logo and that's all
- keeps rebooting nothing else.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Need badly
Thnx in advance
Its normal that ISOs show up as very small, because they contain a small ISO/Joliet filesystem (the bootloader) and a big HFS filesystem (the installer), and most windows utils wont see the HFS part.
Also, what it says while loading in -v its important, knowing that it reboots "after 3 sentences" wont be helpful to anybody to find out whats going wrong...
