Well, imho, the technical knowledge level of the average mac user is
far below that of the average hppa or alpha user. While the average
hppa/alpha user might know everything about their boot loader
(palo/silo), the mac user will probably have only some MacOS 8/9 or X
experience. Even for X users, I doubt that they will -in general-
know about such stuff. So I don't think it's really that bad offering
a help text about what a NewWorld boot partition is anyway.
