The macs have a funny BIOS that has a persistent memory. So it will remember where you booted from, and a few other things. If this BIOS gets confused and stores its confusion in persistent mem, you get exactly what you are seeing. Removing the batteries resets this memory. In Mac parlance, resetting this memory is known as "resetting the PRAM" (or maybe PROM). There is a key combination -- different between mac models -- that does this. Add the exact model of your mac to the search below... http://www.google.be/search?q=resetting+pram+mac this is a good example http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 hth, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
