Version 10.2 fails to mount it's root partition, I really need to understand why. I didn't check any other version, but I noticed that OpenDarwin sometimes acts like Mac OS X 10.2 and sometimes crashes, depending on the version. Those problem as, I suppose, related to buggy OF properties. -- J. Mayer Never organized
