Lizard offert a user interface and some features to help Chamleon's ( 2 RCx) parameters edition.

 

Include:

 

- com.apple.Boot.plist interface

 

- smbios.plist interface (the app follow your custom smbios.plist path if needed)

 

- Chameleon version Check

 

- Save parameters without modifying permissions access

 

- Themes management (read the excellent Blackosx's post about themes here: http:/ / forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,388.0.htmlact=post&do=new_post&f=157)

 

- Intuitive edition (disable incompatible fields...etc)

 

- Bootlable ISO creator ( drag'n'drop, the app analyze your files and import settings into the ISO)

 

- Detailled Help files

 

You can also:

 

- Specify if you want to work with /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist or /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist (for RAID users)

 

- Indicate to the app where is your Extra folder

 

- backup files

 

 

Lizard is still in Beta stage (and my first project with cocoa/oc) , so you may encounter bugs.

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

 

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?

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.
