A OT discussion doesn't have to be a flame war. I'm happy to hear
opinions about anything including how wrong I am..

Manual config, rename whichever config suits you in the settings folder
to "BootX Settings" and copy to your prefs folder. Check options in
bootx, then use the mesh.o driver for scsi access on 7300.

I did note on one post that I had made a mistake about YDL and that my
comparsion was based on a older version. I have since downloaded the 2
versions I was missing and will install 2.2 after I finish testing MDK.
I'm fairly happy with MDK, I seem to have a naste keymap bug which is a
prob, no 3dfx support is a problem also, haven't got to firewire yet but
everything else is good. As the pc version is installed on the doze box,
I figured it was a good place to start.
How well does mac on linux run for you?

No compelling reason to bother with XP.
