I did it the same way as before: I copied the installer CD-ROM to a separate partition, then removed all SCSI drives and PCI cards (except the Villagetronic video card) and started up from the aforementioned partition with the help of a patched version of XPostFacto (available at www.zone6400.com). Again, the installation process was trouble-free as can be. > www.xlr8yourmac.com > has files that work for many CDRW and DVD drives. Try looking under FAQ > then CD /CDRW.

I had a look into the FAQ on CDRW, and indeed there are obviously a lot of people having problems with their CDRW as I have. Unfortunately, no-one seems to know a solution to remedy this situation. So, if anybody has a clue, I am still eager to hear about it. Nils -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
