    Hi all,

    I tried this http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-boot-a-linux-live-usb-stick-on-your-mac/

    Xiaopan starts up for a sec, but then unfortunately it dies.
    Does anybody knows how to get this working?
    I think this can be useful for many other people too!
    The developer from this tool says it's only compatible if the Linux derivat supports loopback.
    Forgive me, I don't know what this means, but does Xiaopan supports loopback?

    Very Best Regards to all.

    Marc.

    Using loopback to boot iso's i find hit n miss.The best way is on vm use appbrowser to install tc-install then install xiaopan onto a usb,then install grub2 from the appbrowser. Then you have persistance ie all your settings are save in home folder etc, you may have to use a external mouse on mac, till you install the right drivers.
