Peter,
	I am attempting to create my installation CD in Panther (Mac OS 10.3). 
  Are there any caveats to be aware of in trying to do that?  I will be 
using mkisofs from fink, which is version 1.15.a39.  When I unzip 
ppc-root-latest.tbz2 using "tar -xjvf" (bzip2 Version 1.0.2) to get the 
files for the minimal directory tree, I get errors that concern me, 
like:

./usr/share/man/man8/NIS.8.gz
tar: ./usr/share/man/man8/NIS.8.gz: Cannot hard link to 
`./usr/share/man/man8/yp.8.gz': (null)
./usr/share/man/man8/rc.serial.8.gz
./usr/share/man/man8/rc.shutdown.8.gz
./usr/share/man/man8/nis.8.gz
tar: ./usr/share/man/man8/nis.8.gz: Cannot hard link to 
`./usr/share/man/man8/yp.8.gz': (null)

	Hopefully I will get to a point of productivity soon.

Thanks,
