Implementing MOL acceleration for 10.3

	The message below from Samuel Rydh appeared recently in the 
MOL user list.  Could someone expand a bit on how this acceleration 
can be implemented for yellowdog?  Is it simply a matter of using 
'yum' judiciously?

*****************

"I have finally fixed the acceleration stuff for Mac OS 10.3. A quick 
benchmarking
indicates that this reduces the overhead due to MOL with about 70 percent
(possible even more).

The acceleration support is not in MOL proper but rather in the OSX driver
archive and in the bootx loader (so don't forget the 'make libimport' step).

If the acceleration code kicks in then one should see the line

	'MOL acceleration for 10.3'

in the logfile.
