Field Note #1 @Anarchyw 2009-03-31

would love to get this going just as soon as i get my installation done... lol still working on getting my first installation, even though i still stay current with the latest!

Field Note #2 @Ali C. 2009-04-03

Nice bootloader.
Only wish I could figure out how to modify it.

Field Note #3 @aljonama 2009-04-04

Chameleon 2.0RC1

I have installed the Chameleon 2.0RC1 and it works fine, but my Question is:
The Bootloader boot MAC OSX directly or i press a key... and then i can choose Mac or Windows XP. What can i do that the Bootloader stops, and then i choose mac or windows.

thanks aljonma

Field Note #4 @Ali C. 2009-04-04

It automatically boots OS X unless you press a key before the countdown ends. Then you can pick which one to load.

Field Note #5 @InteliMacPro 2009-04-21

This works great! I was having trouble getting OSX and Vista to both show up in the bootloader and after I installed it, VOILA! Plus I love all things GUI. Fantastic.

Field Note #6 @xXrkidXx 2009-04-21

yep that's what I'm doing. Installed it and it saw both OS's on both harddrives automatically.

Field Note #8 @cloudster09 2009-04-22

how do you go about installing chameleon 2.0? I have 1.0.11 right now. its just a bootloader?

Field Note #9 @InteliMacPro 2009-04-22

1) download installer from site linked at the top of the thread

2) Run installer

3) should see the difference when you reboot

Yes, it's a kick ass bootloader.

Field Note #10 @Ali C. 2009-04-24

Yup. Should be an installer around. Google is your friend if all else fails.

Field Note #11 @josefka 2009-04-29

I have a noob question.
I've installed Chameleon 2 on a retail DVD install and after on th EFI partition, but I don't know if my system boot from EFI partition or not.
