Hi Garance,

  I haven't used Disk Utility - FreeBSD's burncd was used when
I did some testing. I have to confess: burncd causes an ATA panic
on the eMac, so I burnt on i386. Another bug to chase down :)

  Yep, it should contain most of the same stuff as an i386 miniinst,
although I built NODOC and NOPORTS.

later,

Peter.
