No, you can't.
It'd be nice if you added saving the smbios.plist elsewhere, as I use Boot Think on a USB drive, and not Chameleon. It's no trouble now, as I just grabbed it out of the Extra folder which Lizard created

Hi Sonotone - I have just seen your videos on You-Tube for this.. Well done. They help show what it's all about and just how easy it is to make a BootCD

I understand, but this app is designed for Chameleon, i can't support every chameleon forks, and prefer to work for collaborative and open sources projects.
hi
can you describe how this works with an software raid0 install?
i have partitions "Boot OSX" with Extra Folder in them, and when i touch /L/P/S/com.apple.Boot.plist
it copies changed version to the Boot OSX Partitions but not /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist?
Or should i move Extra Folder to RAID Volume?

QUOTE

No don't move /Extra to the raid volume, cause chameleon will not see it. I'm actually using an alternate boot partition to achieve that, installed chameleon on a USB key.
I have ideas to achieve that but i need to search the nicest way to do that.
@mrheat:
I''ve never used RAID, so it's difficult to me to improve support for, sorry.

I've just updated the app with a more flexible RAM management, check link in first post.

Just updated Lizard, now you can activate backups and choose the backup folder in preferences.
Also some changes in the interface, and cpu patch support in smbios.

@barebone: exactly the way i do it! 2 copies of /Extra in "Boot OSX" Volume

Now sources are available. Even if it's full of bad practices and errors, can be a good starting point for making a pref pane.

Amazing features. I think it is very apt product for my purpose. Hope it would become enough popular. Thanks for posting.
any EFi support? ie mounting the efi partition and working on the /extra folder.

Sorry, but it's not on the "to do" list..
And probably people who are using "efi" partition love terminal, so i think they'll don't be afraid by plist edition
