Install complete 10.6.x system with prev. version, or just install 10.6.x and head directly for 10.7.x and install Multibeast 4.0.0 ?

Thx in Advance

DeerL - build yourself an apple bluetooth dongle - so easy and everything works seamlessly.

I used Multibeast 3.8 with a custom AML file to make bootable a SuperDuper copy of Lion to a new drive without problems but version 4 allows users to increase functionality to Lion 10.7.

- Added to Customization -> Boot Options -> Use KernelCache. Adds UseKernelCache=Yes to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Hi I've seen this option around for a while....but was never sure what it did. Can someone please explain what are the benefits of

UseKernelCache=Yes

. Also how does moving the extra folder to /s/l/ help. Thanks.
