For the past few days I have been trying to find a Live CD for a G3 I-Mac
(this is a desktop, not a Power PC)
I started off trying Knoppix, then Gentoo....

Kind of think I am doing something wrong, or the G3 isn't supported?
Mac site ID's the machine as a iMac/iMac DV (slot loading)

I down load the iso, burn the CD and it looks OK in Windows 2000
Stick the CD into the iMac, power on with the 'c' key held down.
The iMac will stay with a blank screen as long as I hold the 'c' key.
As soon as I release the 'c' key the iMac boots on the Mac OS.

I am ok on i386 units, but this is my first try at a Mac.
Am trying to help a friend, so far only spinning my wheels?

Any suggestions / instructins / links would be a help...
I 'do not' want to install Linux / Knoppix, I want to run it from a Live CD
and still have access to the Mac HD.

Thanks for any tips.
