Hello everybody, Not sure if this is the correct section but I could use some help here, I am running on a MacBook daulbooted with Linux mint/ OS X
I have been trying to run TAILS and liberte through USB, i have installed rEFIt and the USB comes up on the rEFIt screen correctly, but when selected it takes me to a GNU-GRUB menu that only shows OSX & Mint
Thanks

Oh, forgot to mention, both work fine when booted from a CD

Grub is a boot loader only
You need to tell your BIOS to initiate the boot sequence from the USB. Perhaps USB is absent from your boot sequence or below the bootable volume your box sees first (CD -> HDD -> USB -> Network boot)
Chances are either 1) usb made incorrectly (non bootable) 2) your BIOS isnt recognizing the USB drive (unlikely)
If I remember correctly (haven't used my mac in a while) you either have to hit and hold "c" as you bootup or "option"
one of those should let you get to a boot menu to choose the USB
