Although similar in theoretical maximum transfer rate, FireWire 400 tends to have the performance edge over USB 2.0 Hi-Speed in real-world uses, especially in high-bandwidth use such as external hard-drives. The newer FireWire 800 standard is twice as fast as FireWire 400 and outperforms USB 2.0 Hi-Speed both theoretically and practically.

Open “System Profiler” and click “Software” and look at “64-bit Kernel and Extensions”
Hold down the '6' and '4' keys when the Mac starts up (until the Apple log).
Edit this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Insert arch=x86_64 into the Kernel Flags field:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=x86_64</string> </dict> </plist>

How to extract the DVD.ISO from the Mac.Apps.Installer - Navigate to your applications folder - Right-click (or control-click) on the “Install Mac OS X Lion.app” and select “Show Package Contents” - Open the “Contents” directory and then go into “SharedSupport” - Double-click on “InstallESD.dmg” to mount the Lion disk image onto your Mac desktop
How to install from USB Stick rather than CDROM Am using a USB Stick to install Ubuntu Server 11 on a Linux machine, rather than using CD-ROM. (Am using Mac OSX 10.6.7 to download my iso, configure USB stick, and then copy .iso to it) This worked for me - Insert 4GB USB Stick - Open Disk Utility, Click ERASE. Format USB using MS-DOS (FAT) - When Disk appears in Left hand column, right click and get Information (note down the "Disk Identifier : eg disk6") - Then right click the Disk and select Unmount. (the drive still shows but the disk unmounts) - Switching to the Terminal App - Change to superuser / root, by issuing: sudo su - (then enter your password) - Change directory to where ever your recently downloaded .iso image is stored, eg: Downloads - My file iso is called ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso, (approx 650mb) so use the following command: Code: dd if=ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=8192 - This will start copying the file to the USB stick. - There is no "verbose" or screen "output" of what is happening. But after 15mins you should see something like: root# dd if=ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk6 bs=8192
