Boot from USB on MAC I tried to boot Slax on a MAC computer from USB stick long time ago and I wasn't successful, it seemed that MAC computers don't boot from USB at all. Few weeks ago the makeuseof website published an article about making a Linux distro bootable from USB on MAC. The article is here: I'm not able to test this myself, since I don't have MAC (and definitely will not buy one in near future), so I would appreciate if there is anybody who has MAC computer and is willing to give it a go and try to boot Slax from USB on MAC, with or without the help of the utility mentioned in the article.
I'd be mostly interested in how to make an USB drive with Slax which could be universal to boot on both MAC and regular PCs, that could be beneficial for all Slax users. I'll be happy for you suggestions!:) Thank you.

What I had to do: 1) format the (16 MB) USB stick with FAT32 (on Ubuntu Linux) 2) using parted, set the boot flag on the FAT32 partition 3) unzip the slax distro onto the USB stick 4) because the bootinst.sh can't be made executable with chmod (due to the filesystem being FAT32), I've copied bootinst.sh over to bootinst.bat (which already had executable bit set), then renamed bootinst.sh to bootinst0.sh, then renamed bootinst.bat to bootinst.sh 5) ran # sudo.
