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.
