Well Personally, I want to thank the PearPC Developers for PearPC, and
for what you have done so far, personally I think what you achived
within a year is amazing. And I would contribute to the code if I had a
clue with C(++) programming (more of a python guy myself, but am
learning :) ). Thank you for getting this far! and keep up the good work
(at any pace you want).

One thing I dont understand is this limitation of ~2.5GB with PearPC and
Tiger. I installed Tiger using a 4.2GB ISO image without problems, there
seemed to be no limitation. Also booting directly from the DVD-drive
worked as well. When exactly do you come across a limitation in ISO images?
