Hi,
Sorry if this is only half-CentOS-related.
In my office, I'm running CentOS on all my systems (server, workstation, laptop, sandbox PCs). A colleague brought me her MacBook Pro to upgrade it from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.11.6.
I downloaded the 5.8 GB dmg file and now I wonder how to create a bootable DVD with this using only Linux tools.
1. Can I simply burn this as a data DVD with K3B?
2. Or do I have to jump through burning loops using dmg2img, mount -t hfsplus, etc.
I only have a couple of double layer DVDs here, so before burning a pair of expensive coasters, I thought I'd rather ask here.
Cheers,
Niki

First OT answer. If you can boot your macintosh, you can put image on it somewhere, and just ckick or double click on it, macintosh will start what necessary to upgrade or install. If mac does not boot, yoy can power it on while holding two keys pressed: command + T . it will need network access, and will go into recovery boot that in addition to some utilities will let you install macos version the machine was sold with.

I burn disk images routinely on FreeBSD, but I am sure all the command options are the same on linux:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/disk/image.iso
where /dev/dvd is device resembling your burner.

command + R
(for recovery mode). Sorry about all types I made: typing on android is sooo weird...

If it supports it, which running 10.5.7 isn't likely. Recovery Mode wasn't on the hard drive until 10.6, and Network Recovery wasn't until 2010 models.

I'm sure that the downloaded "image" is not the "image" that will be used to boot and install the new system. take a look here

I've done this a few times. I used acertoneiso and/or poweris.
At the time I wrote something on it, I was running CentOS-6x which didn't work acertone. But I can't guarantee you won't get coasters.

I was a bit angered by the OS X lock-in, so I decided to replace it with Linux. Unfortunately the hardware didn't play well with CentOS (KDE would freeze with both the nouveau and the nvidia driver), but here's what I managed to do.

Works like a charm now.

Apple sells hardware. But people are buying it because they like MacOS (which Apple only allows to run on Apple hardware). And they pay more for the same hardware (we used to say that having macintosh is like driving Ferrari: Ford or Subaru will get you around, but Ferrari gives you that shic ;-) I have mixed feelings about MacOS and Apple over time, but I have to admit that MacOS has the best of both worlds: great GUI, and real UNIX under hood. I do not like several things about keyboard (as I my commands containd "Linuxisms" on FreeBSD when I switched to it, and these days I have "freebsd-isms" on Linuxes sometimes, I do have "macintoshisms" everywhere too). In the past some 20 years ago we had a joke: looking at mouse you can tell what system it is: 3 buttons - UNIX, 2 buttons: Windows, 1 button - Macintosh. Windows at some point jumped to many buttons, mac was staying with one button really long. But now they outdid themselves, they have "iPadish" gestures on their mouse. Now you can or rather have to pet their mouse (lightly going along its spine with two fingers for scroll). I pet my cats, bit to pet mouse, this is something ;-)
