Hallo list, 

We got a macbook on loan for a week (thanks heather !). It seems that it is 
possible to boot from usb after all using grub on the usb stick amd refit on 
the 
macbook.

*on a GNU/Linux system do :
mount the system partition of the usb key somewhere:

 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/

install grub on the the partition 

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --no-floppy /dev/sdb1 

copy the menu.lst from the iso extra dir to /mnt/boot/grub

you might need to remove the vga=791 line from the puredyne entry in the 
menu.lst file.

*on OSX
install refit 
reboot with your key in and select the penguin icon 


Will test some more and document properly on the wiki. booting with syslinux 
seems harder and confusing but will try more.

that for now.
