Description Warren Togami 2008-06-05 19:51:56 UTC
Jeremy said to file a ticket for support of LiveUSB on Intel Mac.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2008-06-05 21:07:40 UTC
And to flesh out, this requires two main pieces:
1) Copying over a grub.efi and creating a grub.conf.  This is going into
livecd-creator
2) Some livecd-iso-to-disk tooling so that it doesn't try to do syslinux if you
ask it for a mactel image.  Note that for a mactel image, chances are you won't
be able to create the image non-destructively as we need a GPT label.  But such is
life

For the "future" case, this should be able to be clean.  Once I have the future
case working, I'll try to munge a variant of livecd-iso-to-disk.sh that can be
used with F9 images (although it'll likely require being run from an F9 box of
the appropriate arch)

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2008-06-06 01:42:05 UTC
And support for this built and tested.  Works with F9 kernel at least, something
seems bustificated with the rawhide kernel + EFI booting at the moment

Closing out bug that's been in MODIFIED for a while.
