I am now running Ben's 2.4.4-pre3 kernel, and it is very nice indeed.

Looks like the raw number as returned by the driver. Not too sure about
the meaning, I hacked my plugin to have a scale of 200 instead of 100 :)

Check out http://www.netfall.com/powerpc/stuffit_x86.deb and the
README alongside it. There isn't one for powerpc AFAIK. Also check
out the various threads about this in the archives of this list. I
have a tarball in http:/www.netfall.com/powerpc of the bootx stuff

It's not just that you _should_ unpack BootX on the Mac side, it's that
you have to. It is a Mac OS application, and therefore has a filetype,
creator code, and resource fork. While you might be able to extract the
bitstreams of all these (and the data fork), they won't do you much good.
