[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB ( boots directly from USB )

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi...


I am following the progress of this with great interest, and as soon as I finish the work I promised to do on the Help Activity/Users Manual refresh, I will have a chance to try it.  I do have a few questions that will help me get started.


1) Which Mac OS X are you running?


2) Has this been tested on a MacBook?


3) Can I create the persistent usb on my MacBook using the instructions I found in item 4 on this page?


http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html


If this works, it is really good news!  I would love to be able to show it at SCaLE 10X in Los Angeles on Jan 20-22.  Should I put in a proposal for a presentation or is it not ready for the "big time" yet?


Better still.... would someone from Sugar Labs like to do a presentation at SCaLE?  


I'm looking forward to hearing answers!


Caryl
