You cant use BootX on the latest iBooks... hrm... what else... CS 1.2 will
need a new kernel. Uh... CS 1.2.1 should allow you to install... On mine
console video was messed up unless you boot MacOS before Linux... the latest
kernels fix that.. >= 2.2.17pre20-ben3

Sounds doesnt work unless you use an iBook specific hack... I've got my own
personal kernels up on metaltux.org/~core/files/ if you want to try one.
