EGOvoruhk Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191486-lizard-cocoa-application-for-chameleon-bootloader/#findComment-1295592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackosx Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191486-lizard-cocoa-application-for-chameleon-bootloader/#findComment-1295886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

mrheat Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 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?

Trauma! Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 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.

sonotone Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 @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.

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