The other possibility is the 'hybrid' ISO/HFS format -- will Macs boot that or is it a no-go? The nice thing about this is that you'd be able to see the files on the CD from MacOS and Linux equally without having to have the whole thing mounted under the Linux hfs driver and all the weirdness that entails... -- James Deikun, Techie(tm), CSI Multimedia The opinions expressed &c.
