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.

Andrew
