agreed, now if only there was a way to make a windows app that would do this for people we wouldn't need to make distros anymore... everyone could just create their own from both platforms then. Of course, we don't want to make it too easy. I'm at work right now but when I get home I plan to test this using both my Intel Macbook and my AMD Hacintosh. (specs below)

EDIT: what bootloader is used during the final write?
