Indeed - I'm delaying my hardware build for this. You're doing everyone a great service, and are to be congratulated.

Here's an idea for the future - what if, instead of a huge, arcane list of drivers, you were to enlist the help of the various people who've put together hardware support databases, and made the install options break down by motherboard? That way, a user could just tick one checkbox for his mobo, and get all the patches and kexts known to be needed to make it work. AFAIK, no OSx86 distro does this. It could be major. Yours could be not only the most vanilla, with the broadest support, but also the easiest to use, and hence the most Apple-like.

Just a thought.
