Please help.
A want to burn a bootable OpenSuse DVD for a Mac.
The thought of swapping CDs during install is really ugly.
I have done the network install which was ok (hard to start, have to type in the IP address) but I've done the full download now and would like to use fast local media.
I have all the CD .isos on another Mac OS X system.
I have the makeSUSEdvd script.
I have rpm. (via DarwinPorts and/or Fink)
I have mkisofs. (ditto)
I will have gpg shortly. (ditto)
I have the yast autotools.
I had to say rpm -ignoreos and maybe -nodeps.
rpm was complaining about stuff like gzip and Perl that I already had.

But what about the boot part?
I noticed makeSUSEdvd does Grub stuff.
That's not going to be correct.

I have searched a ton and can't find much that is clear.
There is a lot on bootable CDs but not so much for Macs and
besides I don't know what files to use here.
Maybe I copy something from CD1 or something?

Please help. This should be on the Wiki. Thanks.
