I tried the Mac EFI one. Used the image-writer-mac (*) script to dd it onto the stick. It booted my MacBook Pro, I saw the 10 second Fedora pre-boot count down, but after that I just got a blank screen. - Bert - (*) I have a minor update at http://git.sugarlabs.org/image-writer Could someone with SoaS write permissions replace this on the release server? http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/ Thanks! [converting this into an AppleScript would be the simplest to avoid having to use the Terminal] _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
