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. <a href="http://venublog.com/images/mac/refit.png">http://venublog.com/images/mac/refit.png</a> Regards Roland <div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/20 Lucian Branescu <<a href="mailto:lucian.branescu@gmail.com">lucian.branescu@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">rEFIt <a href="http://refit.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://refit.sourceforge.net/</a> is akin to GRUB, but nicer.
