How about gathering all the information into a single spot on the web somewhere, with the old patches, ports, etc, along with whatever someone non-arla aware would need to know (cheat sheets?) to get into the hard work as quickly as possible? I know next to nothing about arla, but if the cheat sheets were there so I didn't have to spend a ton of time on learning arla completely before looking at it, it would make tinkering a lot easier. Start a new thread on HFS+ if you need to. :) Eric
