I know everyone wants an independant system to install bsd on the ppc system but
all macs ship with a mac os system, and the current installer still dosent install
unless you get a cd, I would have thought to reach the most users the Idea would
be to get it working on as many machines as possible first and then do what ever
makes you happy. I dont want to spend any money ( for the CD) on somthing I have
never used, and don't know how I'll like it. I't would  only wind up with the aol
coasters they send me in the mail.

I have a couple of days off, to either learn somthing new, or to hook up the radio
and listen to MP3's

happy holidays
