I tried it out and it worked on my quadra605 and my quadra630.
Actually I only tried the rescue system option which worked
in the old version too. So in that sense the new menu is useless.
(but ide drive is not detected in 630) But easier for people to
see the potential with the new menu I think. Options are always
nice !
But, am I supposed to be able to boot an existing system that is
on my hard drive now, without installing emile on my hard drive ?
If I could put the option to boot macos or skip it that would not be
useless to me. But I do not install emile on my hard drive because
I still find refuge in the old macos for its human interface design
(despite its limitations) and efficiency (inarguable).
Sometimes, I need or want to work in old macos. Sometimes linux.
Also one of these days I could try unning basililiskII in native mode.
Maybe then I could that way have both ?
emile does boot fast, fast, fast compared to my regular system with
penguin (at least the rescue system does).
