Oh, and it was > mountable under Linux for me... interesting, when i was testing various methods for making bootable CDs for newworld systems i found that a fully partitioned CD (as linuxppc 2000's is) simply would not mount under linux, no incantations of -part or anything would make it work. I also read a rather long thread on the linuxppc-user archives of users complaining that they could find no way to mount the linuxppc2000 cd under linux, HFS or ISO format. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
