Thanks!  I don't have a PPC so I haven't been running the betas,
although once it ships I'll be looking around for a used one
in a minimal configuration, and if I can get one for a song I
want to boot it up.

Now, is it possible to make the system boot into character
mode so as to turn off the GUI completely?
