Little bit of Bootblock editing

Posted by: IPalindromeI on 2013-10-27 05:18:31 ...people don't seem to realize the potential for bootblock editing - you can boot directly into whatever application, no Finder needed. Here' I've used Browser - it kinda works, but you can't open applications and many menu entries don't work. It's a start though... maybe some extensions would help it.

Posted by: onlyonemac on 2013-10-28 11:03:09 I think that was an extension. But then, how did it manage to ask for a password when you started with extensions disabled? Maybe it was, you know 😉 .
