It's possible for me to generate my own cd if I knew the right input for genisoimage. I don't have the G4 currently setup. Genisoimage is being done from debian ppc. I could also combine any boot-only CD with the BSD install CD or a rescue and have my own to use if I had the directions. Not saying that i would always do such but, that it would be nice to try it once.
