What Gordon said is completely right. Select ISO image from the
"Other" (I think) menu in Toast Titanium and burn the UNMOUNTED image.
It should work perfectly. The same applies for the extras CD.
The difference between the ppc folder and the SRPMS one is that the
ppc contains the compiled rpms and the other one contains the sources
for each rpm. That is, the SRPMS folder has the not-yet-compiled rpms
you find in the ppc one. For some people these are useful because they
usually want to compile their own packages with particular options or
setups. If you don't have any particular need or love for the thrill
then I suggest going for the already compiled rpms. There's nothing in
them that should prevent them from running fine in a regularly installed
system. Of course, thanks to Murphy there are always exceptions!
Enjoy them. I am still to download them and see what juicy software
is to be found there. Sincerely,...
Juan.
