   Checked lately?  I have been for months.

   The file created by mkboot.sh is a raw image, not a macbinary file.  It
   doesn't have a creator or type.  They are correct on CD images, though.

Um, Dan, this is getting confusing.  The Dan to whom Ethan Benson sent
that long ago message was not even you, was it?  And I was certainly
not trying to make a point about CD images, not having seen any of
them.  However, I am pleased to hear that even this small point was
got right on the CD images.  It is only in the last couple of weeks
that I finally have the opportunity to try Debian.  Let me take a few
seconds off from my irritating newbie questions, to say that I am very
impressed with what you have done.
