SoaS is only currently compiled for 32bit x86, which works on amd64 but
not on PowerPC.
Yeah, I had to use jhbuild and precompiled ubuntu packages in
blessing would be useful for enabling 'boot from USB'. 'boot from CD'
or 'boot from USB with helper CD' don't need it.

Note that much of the appeal of SoaS comes from not requiring to
modify the machine it is about to run on. So rEFIt is no option for
general use, it's not what we could recommend to teachers.

I have a new macbook, but have seen issue 1 and not 2.
Is there some sequence of usb/cd creation I should try that might produce
the problem?
Its intel mac only, right? My partner has a desktop mac running leopard, but
its intel also. I can later try on this setup if it would be of value.

rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/ is akin to GRUB, but nicer. It
detects and shows all boot options.

Perhaps, but to me it seems a very good option, especially when
compared to requiring a helper CD and an arcane key press combination
. rEFIt is tiny and quite useful by itself, since the default apple
bootloader doesn't offer any feedback.
