Sounds great. But I haven't found anything called a "BootCamp CD". If  
I search for the over at Apple all I come up with is an iMac specific  
firmware update. I suspect that there once was a BootCamp CD but that  
it has disappeared as Leopard was released.

If anyone has an image of this thing (that hasn't already expired) I  
would be much obliged...
