I've been using a bootable FireLite USB drive with my Intel Mac for a couple of months, with no problems at all. I installed OS X to it from the install DVDs, and deleted most unwanted apps and languages to reduce the space used to about 5 gigs.
As a new SD! user, I've been copying users to a sparseimage on this drive - the idea was that any corruption on my Mac would not overwrite the OS on the FireLite. However my 2 gig Parallels Windows XP image on the Mac means that the sparseimage grows by 2 gigs each time I copy it! Hdiutil shrinks it down again, but I think I may repartition the Firelite so that SD! can copy the files directly to the disk, rather than the image. Roger.
