Bug description:
after reading on the list that there's a way to "fool" the macbook and make boot from a puredyne usb key, i just asked if its possible to have make-live-device.sh creating a proper partition table for generatin "universal" puredyne usbkeys with it?

aleij_> is make live already setting up the 32partition for the efi/mactel thinggies?
10:48 < claude> aleij_: not as far as i am aware
10:48 < aleij_> oke
10:49 < aleij_> now i wonder if make-live can be pointed to a partiton and not to the whole device?
10:50 < aleij_> so i manually create that 32megs portion and have make-live do its magic on the "rest" of the device
10:51 < claude> aleij_: no, because it needs 2 partitions (1 for system, 1 for persistence) and installs grub in the master boot record too
10:51 < aleij_> yes, it was my guess..uhmm
10:51 < claude> aleij_: well, it might be possible to change it - but that's how it is now
10:52 < aleij_> so i will add the ticket then
10:52 < claude> you could always customize/fork the script to do what you want, the best way would be some command line options to change behaviour
10:52 < aleij_> will have a look, yes
