I used a fully updated f16 gnome3-shell hard disk install to write the EFI USB Run: "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required dependencies and then use livecd-iso-to-disk follow the instructions on : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB</a> <blockquote cite="mid:SNT112-W18415C0A05B4F1E1ACCF5FCCD40@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html">http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html</a> </pre> </blockquote> I doubt that the above would create an EFI boot USB, But I have not tried those methods. Only EFI USB's written from the RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso will boot directly in my Mac. I would be willing to send a 2 GB EFI USB to you to test If you like. Let me know where to send it.
