Hello,
This article is driven by the request from the raising amount of 
MacBook Air user who we met at Crypto Party. For the last while, we have 
been encouraging using anonymous LInux OS e.g. Tails and Liberte, which 
unfortunately do not support Mac user.
In the last article, we have introduced booting linux usb mac with a 
boot DVD. This time we have figured how to boot it with a boot usb and 
we have managed to boot Liberte on macbook air.

Ingredients:
-A mac
-2 USBs (for convenience and clarity, we will refer them as USB I and 
USB II)
-Liberte Linux
-reFIT bootloader

1. Format and install liberte Linux on USB I
(to see the step-by-step guide, please check follow the first half of 
this article:
https://lilithlela.cyberguerrilla.org/?p=5636)

2. lnstall reFit. on USB II
Go to http://refit.sourceforge.net/, download rEFIt 0.14 (disk image)
Unpack it and copy the “efi” folder to the root of the volume. Open 
Terminal and enter the following commands: 
“/Volumes/(yourusbname)/efi/refit/enable.sh”

3.Keep both USBs in the machine and restart  it. When the white screen 
come on( the moment before the apple logo appears), press 'alt'--this 
enables us to choose which volumes we want our machine to boot from.

4.Now you  should about see two extra volumes beside your original 
apple internal hard disk. Click 'EFI BOOT', then your liberte should be 
running smoothly.

note:
1. we have tested this on a macbook air 2010 model.
2. This does not support Tails.
3. This also does not work on apple mini.(2010)
