Thanks for the helpful directions. My aim was to have a debian installation on the USB key without touching the Mac HDD. This will enable me to boot debian by just sticking the key to an MBP (or even a plain Macbook but thats for later). I do have the 1.0.1 firmware update and SMC update on the MBP. I am currently using rEFIt to boot from the USB key. The USB key was blessed not the Mac HDD. Would it be possible to do everything on the USB key if I boot using the BIOS? thanks again, /KS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
