First, the usual warning: use it at your own risk!␊
No, it's not going to set your machine on fire or something like that :)␊
Everything is tested on my machine first, but you never know. Be sure you understand␊
the changes before you use one of these booters and always keep a plan B!␊
Everything is tested on my machine first and i don't mess with stuff i don't have knowledge to mess␊
with, but you never know. Be sure you fully understand the changes before you use this booter␊
(CleanCut included) and always keep a plan B!!!␊
I will do my best to explain what these changes are and more.␊
␊
Although i use this stuff on a daily basis, this is not meant to be an alternative to Chameleon!␊
Any use of this booter/s should be considered "testing". If you do find a certain patch or␊
I might miss a topic so, if you create one, pm me anyway.␊
␊
The layout of the branch can change, but at least 2 folders will always be present (at least for now):␊
CleanCut (CC) and Chazi (Ch):␊
CleanCut and Chazi:␊
␊
- Ch is the main stuff; it's my work folder, test bed and personal booter. Comparing it to the trunk␊
␉ will probably be a "pain in" for anyone in the future. That's were CC comes in.␊
␉␊
␉- CC will be as close to the trunk as possible and i won't commit there patches that don't work for␊
␉ everyone, like the AutoResolution i use on Ch. It's mean to be compared easily and keep the stuff␊
␉ i consider most useful to Chameleon "at hand". Stuff committed here will always come from Ch!␊
- Chazi is the main stuff! It's My Work Folder, Test Bed and "Personal" Booter. Comparing it to the␊
␉ trunk will probably be a "pain in" for anyone in the future. That's were CleanCut comes in.␊
␊
␉- CleanCut, as the name implies, is a "clean" cut of Chazi; will always be as close to the trunk as␊
␉ possible and i won't commit there patches that don't work for everyone, like the AutoResolution␊
␉ one i use on Chazi (this may change in the future).␊
␉ It's mean to be compared easily and keep the stuff i consider most useful to Chameleon "at hand".␊
␉ Stuff committed there, besides trunk updates, will always come from and reflect changes on Chazi,␊
␉ keeping the limitations above in mind!␊
␊
Guidelines:␊
␊
- learn and spread the knowledge.␊
Read the rest of the docs for more info and keep an eye on the forge and forum (*) for news.␊
Stay safe and enjoy.␊
␊
Thanks:␊
any contribution to this OSx86 scene, with a true sense of "community" deserves a "Thank you very much",␊
from the small post to the nice booter :)␊

To be honest, the info on this file will depend greatly on "feedback"; writing down this stuff it's␊
not the most pleasing and fruitful task i have to do atm, time is never enough and i don't feel␊
particularly inspired for the job; so if i see no interest in this, i will ditch it as quickly␊
as i started it.␊

␊
Note: unless other wise specified, first file found is the one used.␊
␊
Note: path/name search is not case sensitive! Meaning that:␊
- this /Extra/DSDT.aml␊
- or this /extra/dsdt.aml␊
points exactly to the same location.␊
␊
Before we go on:␊
- Selected volume = root volume (volume/partition were a system is installed)␊
- Booter volume = boot volume (volume/partition were the bootloader installed)␊
