[seifullaah73]

hi guys
if you can fix this for me i would appreciate it alot

well first i have this dmg file a cd image for my mac containing the current os on it

and i would like to to burn it on a dvd-dual layer so that when i place it in the mac it should detect it and be able to boot from it.

could you tell me how i can burn it on dvd using linux as the file is in linux therefore making it usable on my mac.

Thanks

Trouble is I don't know what dmg file is????? Is it a bootable image?? Normaly this is done with iso files.

[seifullaah73]

a dmg file is a mac disk image it can be bootable which my one is or it can be non bootable
.
you can google it by typing .dmg extension

k3b doesn't recognise it.

you will have to use a windows machine to extract it
