Anyways you got that sorted...
Yeah. I'm actually okay with most BSD/Linux/*nix commands. I knew how to mount a partition, just didn't understand originally it worked the same for EFI (not sure how file structure in there worked... probably could have discerned that if I'd thought for a few seconds... anyway) disk druid (dd) is old hat..
I've been poking across all your forums. Had the FAQ forum been working originally (it was under construction when I started reading saturday night) I probably would have been able to format my question more accurately.
Side note: Read rule 1 before posted my own response. I posted info and listed reference (cross-post) as I just used part of it. Point well taken the EFI/GPT discussion had same info...
On to the real stuff.
My original question (which I'll change Topic to once its sorted) should have been:
"I'm upgrading from Chameleon 1.0.x to v2.... so what do I need to know?"
I'm continuing to poke here and in other places to compile the information... once done I'll formulate a guide here
Turns out theres quite a bit of information on v2 here, and a lot of info on hardware and why you'd want to elsewhere, but no place for one stop shopping on and what the pitfalls are. Which is my concern...
Anyway, I'll keep at it. Thanks for the feedback.
