Comment (by kyngchaos):

 Maybe I'm not doing something right - downloaded the beta5 iso (it was in
 two parts) and joined it.  Mount image on OSX (no need to burn to DVD
 first).  I see:

 {{{
 casper
 isolinux
 md5sum.txt
 preseed
 README.diskdefines
 }}}

 If I'm supposed to boot off the DVD to see the Mac files, then that is no
 good.  I think most people looking for the OSX installers are going to pop
 the DVD in their Macs and expect to find the files right there (in a
 clearly marked folder).  The only way booting from the DVD would work is
 if the system has HFS+ file system support so the installers can be copied
 to the Mac's HD.
