My current Mac Book has a Firewire port and I have been able to boot from an Firewire-attached drive to "fix" things on the internal Mac Book drive. But the new Mac Books don't have a Firewire port so does Tiger or Lepard offically support booting from a USB-attached drive?
Got a tip for us?

The new macbooks, or macbook Air?
Edit - I stand corrected. This surprises me about macbook.
I think he means the MB, since that was what he was talking about in the beginning.
JP, I take it you didn't notice my edit?
No, I quoted you before I saw it. Sorry.
Thanks for the Information
As the title states, thanks for everyone's response. I was almost sure Apple would not delete the Firewire port without being able to boot from a USB port.
My current Mac is an Mac Book and I was asking about the new Mac Book Aluminum version which does not come with a Firewire port.
