[CUBE] Yes, an actual working iDVD/external burner hack

[George Pepper]

How did you copy DVD player from your iBook?... I tried that by 
dragging the icon from my iBook to the Xserve HD in Target Disk mode, 
but DVD player would not launch on the Xserve: It spontaneously quit 
whenever I tried to launch it... I am using X.ii, so if this is a new 
feature under X.iii, there's my reason to upgrade!...
