A couple of notes here : You *can* boot a live session using both a USB and a CD, here are the steps :
Note 1 : Step 1 : Burn ISO image to a CD Step 2 : dd or use usb-creator to write ISO to a usb thumbdrive Step 3 : Insert both the CD and the USB disk during the boot sequence and hold down 'C' to boot the CD Step 4 : Wait for everything to load and proceed with installation ( At this point, you can remove the CD since the session is being run from the USB thumb drive ) Note 2 : Interestingly, my DVD/CD drive does work if you hold the 'option' key during the boot sequence, if you use reFit the drive is not recognized. I would highly recommend using the option key to boot the other OS because that way most of your hardware works out of the box ( I couldn't get my backlight controls to work either with reFit ) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782389 Title: DVD drive doesn't work on MacBookPro8,2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/782389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
