Thanks for the feedback Peter. I'm the guilty party on the seemingly poor
documentation. You'll have to excuse me if it's not quite up to snuff in
the area of creating the CD's on the MacOS side, but I really don't use
MacOS too much , and I don't own a burner or software on the MacOS side.
As Jeff mentions, you'll need to use BootX to kick things off for an older
machine, although it doesn't have to be setup as an extension. Apparently
there is no archive of the list, although I've asked the same site that
archives the cooker list if they would also cover us. I know many are
anxious for a beta2 CD, but I'd like to address a couple more issues
before I do that. In particular the machines that are hitting the kernel
panic trying to boot, the machines with 2.4.4 kernel problems and at
least add some functionality to the post install X setup, even if it's not
100%.
