YDL on an eMAC Firewire Drive

[Bill Mueller]

There is, but it gets ugly fast.  I'd also recommend parted over pdisk, it is
a little better supported.  Either way, stick with what you're comfortable with.  

I should have something in the next week or so that'll break the requirement
of a previous linux install.  Most likely a bootable CD that automates an image
install.  So it'll be only 3 or 4 steps instead of the current 50 (a little 
more user friendly.)
