[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] soas live cd on MacBook? How?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

rEFIt is good .. we use it at our college for multiboot access (OSX,
Windows, Linux etc.) I modify one file to prevent hostile access to some EFI
functions. If somebody here supports the rEFIt developer with a suitable
graphics and some technical support, they could include a sugar icon and
ensure that it is correctly detected on bootup. This would include any
bootable CDROMs in an iMac computer on startup such as Sugar.
