Burning .dmg in linux

I dug up an old iMac G3 powerpc. I had installed linux on it (kubuntu 4.06?) some time ago. I had backed up my mac osX panther install cd's just in case.

I am trying to restore the mac with OSX on it to give to my brother, as he is computerless and likes macs. I have the .dmg files. I have also been successful in extracting the files, since I found no way to burn them directly. Now I am stuck, as I am not sure how to make a linux friendly ISO that will also burn as a proper boot cd for the mac.

I believe it has to be an HFS image, but how do you flag it to bootable? You can no longer purchase OS9/OSX power PC, so I am stuck with that route. Any help?

How to burn .DMG as bootable HFS
Or how to create mac bootable HFS image file from files.

Re: Burning .dmg in linux

I'm not really sure, but iirc you can convert dmg to iso with acetoneiso.
