Hi...
I am following the progress of this with great interest, and as soon as I
finish the work I promised to do on the Help Activity/Users Manual refresh, I
will have a chance to try it. I do have a few questions that will help me get
started.
1) Which Mac OS X are you running?
Mac OSX 10.6.8
2.7 GHZ Intel Core i7
2) Has this been tested on a MacBook?
MacBook Pro 8.1
Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU
3) Can I create the persistent usb on my MacBook using the instructions I found
in item 4 on this page?
I do not think that this can be done from a mac.
I used a fully updated f16 gnome3-shell hard disk install to write the
EFI USB
Run:
"yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and then use livecd-iso-to-disk
follow the instructions on :
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB
http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html
I doubt that the above would create an EFI boot USB, But I have not
tried those methods.
Only EFI USB's written from the RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso will boot
directly in my Mac.
I would be willing to send a 2 GB EFI USB to you to test If you like.
Let me know where to send it.

If this works, it is really good news! I would love to be able to show it at SCaLE 10X
in Los Angeles on Jan 20-22. Should I put in a proposal for a presentation or is it not
ready for the "big time" yet?
Better still.... would someone from Sugar Labs like to do a presentation at
SCaLE?
I'm looking forward to hearing answers!

Subject: [SoaS] MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB ( boots
directly from USB )
We now have a persistent EFI boot USB for Macs...
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB
works with f16 RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/Live/x86_64/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso
Use: livecd-iso-to-disk see first link for details.
