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.<br>
