Q: Booting the Mac from an external USB drive
I was under the impression that you could only boot a Mac from an external firewire drive. However, I have just successfully booted my new MacBook from an external SuperDuper backup connected via USB.
Aluminum Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

That basically only applies to Mac OS X on PowerPC Macs, not on an Intel Mac such as a MacBook.
