Sorry I can't answer your questions, but I wanted to suggest to you that you
should lie to tech support and tell them you run Windows. It saves a lot of
time and aggravation.
I also sometimes get an old windows junker running for these types of
situations. It confuses the technicians (who often are not too savy) a lot
less.
