this could be useful to try for creating a liveUSB that can boot macintels.
http://ccobb.net/demos/liveusb/#mactel i will try it out and report back ** Changed in: bouilloncube Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: bouilloncube Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: bouilloncube Assignee: (unassigned) => aleij (alejoduque) -- help make-live do the 32mg partition for efi & friends https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of puredyne team, which is the registrant for bouilloncube. Status in bouillon cube: Fix Released Bug description: after reading on the list that there's a way to "fool" the macbook and make boot from a puredyne usb key, i just asked if its possible to have make-live-device.sh creating a proper partition table for generatin "universal" puredyne usbkeys with it? aleij_> is make live already setting up the 32partition for the efi/mactel thinggies? 10:48 < claude> aleij_: not as far as i am aware 10:48 < aleij_> oke 10:49 < aleij_> now i wonder if make-live can be pointed to a partiton and not to the whole device? 10:50 < aleij_> so i manually create that 32megs portion and have make-live do its magic on the "rest" of the device 10:51 < claude> aleij_: no, because it needs 2 partitions (1 for system, 1 for persistence) and installs grub in the master boot record too 10:51 < aleij_> yes, it was my guess..uhmm 10:51 < claude> aleij_: well, it might be possible to change it - but that's how it is now 10:52 < aleij_> so i will add the ticket then 10:52 < claude> you could always customize/fork the script to do what you want, the best way would be some command line options to change behaviour 10:52 < aleij_> will have a look, yes _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
