I will gladly test it ( I have no Intel Mac however). One caveat is that f15 seems destined to use systemd ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html">http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html</a> ) and upstart for booting. : / It was experimented in early Soas f14 builds and proved much too buggy. NOTE: As a test. I did burn your soas-3-boot-test.iso to a CD and booted with it in a hp Laptop. It found and switched to my 2 GB Soas-v3-Mirabelle USB and sucessfully started it : ) Tom Gilliard satellit <blockquote cite="mid:AANLkTinWwLtTRUtwxrWVyTWKjAXQcd_J0Q_v1=cC=11n@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Matt _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org">SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
