OK so I'm learning - theiATKOS v7 was working all along - it just looked like it was hanging. In fact it has set me up with what appears to be a very workable system - the only problem I have is graphics. I have 2 Nvidia 7600GS cards which run 3 widescreen monitors - but all I can get it to do is 1024x788 with the 2 monitors that are on the same card mirroring each other. I must have tried a dozen or more combinations - I've even been editing kexts! But still no joy.

Ah well it's all a learning process I suppose. I'm sure I'll get there in the end

I JUST THOUGHT I'D POST THIS TO LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW THAT THE iATKOS DISK REALLY DOES WORK!
