I am also a member on that list. As far as I'm concerned (and I know I have opposition) asking about X and your concerns is on topic for this list. It is a valid operating system that runs on PCI Macs that you shouldn't have to join another list to ask a question about before you even attempt to put it on. The unsupported list should be for people who are installing and have installed XPostFacto and Jag on their machines.... Let's just not get carried away on the topic. X is an up and coming OS that will be on 99% of all Macs in a couple years. Of course there will still be the people afraid of change that are still running 7.5 on their PCI Macs because it came with it.... -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1st/pci-powermacs list nanny -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
