I'm using a Mac also, but what I did was download the shareware version of
WinImage (go to shareware.com or someplace similar) and ran it on Virtual PC
(Windows emulator for the non-Mac-literate) to extract the files. The
download of the .iso file wasn't too bad--on a cable modem that is--but the
WinImage file extraction took forever, something like 8 hours. After I
burned all the files to a CD, it ran perfectly.

The EKTA CD is TOTALLY worth it.
