Chameleon Bootloader

Chameleon is a boot loader for Mac OS X.

It seems that standard boot loaders for Mac OS X either lack many cool features, or have many cool features, but are closed-sourced. With Chameleon you can have all benefits of features while you can inspect/bugfix/extend the codebase.

The homepage for Chameleon is a joke. The downloads section hasn't been updated in 2 years. And even if you go to Chameleon's developer page (which is very hard to find in Google, by the way), you'll only be able to download the source.

To download a .pkg installer for the most recent release of Chameleon, you'll have to go to Kexts.com. Be sure to download the "trunk" version, unless you're looking for a specific branch of Chameleon.

Or, instead of using Chameleon, install Chimera, a branch of Chameleon by tonymacx86.

Mac OS X needed for original boot can be installed to USB.
