I've got a MacBook 2.1 without a working internal harddrive. My goal is to run a ubuntu livecd from USB. However, as you may know, this is not easily done as the mac bios does not support booting from usb.
I've screwed around a lot with rEFIt on a small HFS+ partition on the beginning of the USB drive, but I have not managed to chainload linux. My next step was to do something similar to this
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/make-a-usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-9-10/
My question is, how is this done in ubuntu 10.04? Grub seems to be totally redesigned...
Thanks
