Well, what about a cheap external usb CD/DVD drive? The firmware should handle that, so it should be possible to boot from that.


I can confirm the intel Mac will boot from any external USB/Firewire CD/DVD drive or Hard Drive or USB stick :-)

After reading this thread, I think we shud all just give up and get crappy windoze boxes.

btw, Bloodline, are you a pastafarian??


Nah, you guys forget the great fsm if you want to show you're serious. Become true followers of the Jedi code, and may the force be with you too. It's way more believable, more fun and with more followers to boot.

They even made a couple of film trilogies about it and everythin' :lol:


I observe and respect the teachings of FSM... But on the 2000 census I did state my Faith as Jedi... Like everyone else I know :-D
