Comments/Problems:

I thought it was really righteous, though I had to wonder about the
uneconomical use of bandwidth using this method but I am dead in the
water because I cannot boot from CD-ROM via firewire.

Wondered if the problem was /20050317ubuntu5/images... so I tried
/20050317ubuntu3/images as well and ftp and http
for both. I have tried installation those four times and some.

I'd kill to do this thing this way; but if anyone could suggest a
workaround...

Thanks,

Sean
