Running the Tablet PC OS on an iMac

Loren posted how to run the Tablet PC OS on the iMac.
Actually, the installation process is very similar to that described in the Boot Camp documentation. There are two exceptions, however. For instance, I used a Tablet PC OS Windows XP disc and not the standard Windows XP CD. Apple indicates that Boot Camp does not support this permutation of the OS--if I understand correctly, it's because the Tablet OS comes on two discs and at install time there is no way to eject a CD and swap to disc two. This problem can be avoided, however, by creating a DVD image that contains all the necessary files (all the files from the Tablet OS disc one and two). I used Nero to burn a bootable DVD from the Tablet PC OS files included in my MSDN subscription. Then when Boot Camp reaches the step where I need to insert a Windows XP install disc in the "CD" drive, I use the DVD instead.
