   Vince,   
      
   If you can give me the necessary information, I should be able to add support    
   for the Intel Macs to SETUP.sh.  I unfortunately do not have access to such a    
   machine.   
      
   For the most part, it should be a matter of adjusting for differences in where    
   the Macs store things like the users, groups, and passwords.
