It was some time back, I believe so.  I did read the instructions.
one BIG note, I only have "toast lite", not toast titanium.

Yes, this was the point that i made earlier- the entire folder 
structure is there, and I was able to extract Yaboot and BootX, and it 
ran - until it needed more files from the CD.

on my G4, it simply would not boot from the CD (but, alas, that's a 
common problem, even, occasionally, with an Apple (r) system disk :-(
