Yeah, the problems were more with my ability to properly compile the driver
and configure my xorg.conf... i had it working briefly at some point but
this was after lots of trials and tribulations.  seems fine now, though i'm
a bit in the dark of how to configure it still.

live-build is great.  the more i dig in the more i love it.  i just had a
demo with some middle school kids today and i used 2 different live-builds
i've made plus puredyne live and a puppy linux.  its nice to have the
ability to boot into different environments on different machines and see
what the kids resonate with.

on that note, i think i'd like to try and solve the booting on Mactel
problem.  Anyone have any leads?  I did have some success with the advice on
the bug report adding some EFI stuff... I got to grub and past into the
puredyne boot phase but then hung up on some initramfs stuff.  Not sure
why.  Are there issues with initramfs and a FAT32 format?  I assume it would
be easy enough to make a modified make-live-device.sh that would make a
puredyne install on a FAT32 format and add the EFI stuff.  If that solves
the Mactel problem, it would be fantastic, because most of the schools I go
into have lots and lots of Macs.
