i have no issues explaining anything. The reasons i asked those questions again is i wanted to know what stage you are at. Regarding distros you have also used ipc this why i asked as i didnt know which one you needed help with now and posting in 2 threads makes it confusing. Your questions are not specific to my distro they are generic and what most users need the answers to. I am prepared to help but if the tools you are using arent functioning on your system as it I fail to see how i can overcome this. Enough of my ranting an on with a possible solution. Have you tried your iso tools on a different system in case you have issues with your windows rig as it is? I am gonna post some links to the questions you have posted. Also in terms of noobs i am one ive not been using osx long at all.
