Hmmmmm, do the rules apply to the intel macs like they do to PPC where you can load classic first to have something to boot off of and upgrade from or will classic not run on the intel mac?
If it will that's one suggestion.
The one thing I dislike about the Mac setup that the sony, compaq, and dell have a one up on is the system on the boot partition so no install disks. Just a simple reformat and recovery straight off the first partition to the 2nd.
