Should go into the guide I think.

I finally removed the files from there, the official boot-floppies contain a
macinstall.tgz and are currently up-to date.
Downloading with netscape... often failes, since netscape tries to
decompress. Better try a real ftp client.
Why do you people have to use Penguin 17? All I heard Penguin 18 is the
newest, best, just right for mac?
As for the prefs, the Penguin Prefs were intentionally deleted from
macinstall. You have to set the kernel parameters by hand (yes, this should
be documented, volunteers?). See the archives or ask Michael for an
explanation why they were deleted. IIRC they use allready sane defaults, you
just have to enter kernelimage and root path, right?
If somebody with a mac creates a prefs file which will work out of the box
from CD, we might include it, but maybe we first need a CD to create such a
file.
