yes you can install it onto an external volume and then you just select the start up disk

i understood now… just the bootcamp… so i can’t use both together… i actually forgot about that…
put yosemite on an external and you can certainly boot into bootcamp & windows or from the external
I have several externals
Okay, so I finally set-up my wife’s machine with Yosemite (via an external HDD), as my testing machine is well and truly pushing up the daisies.
This has to be the most unprofessional looking DP that I ever recall (DP4), so many visual elements are just terrible (menu items change their text size as you mouse over them) checkboxes and radio button shift when you click them.
Urgh!
That said, seems like some of the visual tweaks are easy enough to implement. I do like Dark Mode, although wish the rest of the system would go dark.
I can just imagine that one of the first things to come out will be some hacks to make it less narrrish. Why is it Sci-fi movies all show really cool interfaces and we end up with Yosemite? Maybe a computer company should hire some movie guys?
Did you try to put that video on a blank (just low level formatted) external Hard Disk ?
(so the video data are on contiguous blocks / not fragmented)
And you can compile Xojo projects from each of your externals ?
(Linux, OS X, Windows + external hard disks)

Yup

I’m running Yosemite on an external boot drive (Firewire 800, a high quality G-Tech silver 2.5" case) and having bad problems with shutdowns hanging. It starts the shutdown process but never finishes. Makes testing a bit frustrating. Anyone else booting off an external drive and not having this issue?
I have no issues like that
I boot my machine back and forth between 10.8, 10.9 (on an external), and 10.10 (on an external)
The only issue I have seen is this weird video issue under 10.10
I have 10.10 installed on an external SSD and it shutdown pretty fast. Never got any hangs.
But I have issues when using Xojo and running an app in debug mode. It sometimes takes a very long time (up to minutes) before the app is actually launched. Even have this with an empty project.
That and the HUD issues are the only two problems I encountered that needs to be fixed.
In general DP4 is very fast (the GUI is much faster compared to 10.9 (framerate is about 30% higher on mu MBPr
I do like the new GUI a lot! It’s really refreshing to use but sadly Xojo apps can look a bit odd imo.
Also, you definitely need the declares for the checkboxes and radio buttons (until 2014r3). Otherwise they will not look native.
I did not see this visual issue yet (MBPr i7 late 2013).
Anyone had any luck with Yosemite (as guest OS) in Parallels?
Video issues: I’ve seen problems running on the HD3000 card, but not on the AMD6750 in my macbook which has both. I recommend the app gfxCardStatus for debugging this since it will show you what card is in use at any given time, and what app has caused it to switch.
Not seeing any visual issues on my iMac 21.5 ". Have it installed on a partition next to Maverick. Seems to be faster
and more responsive compared to Maverick.
Found a problem with the default text editor program in Applications, it does not handle .doc files properly.
This should get fixed once more users send in feedback.
So far I like the new OS.
Both cards are always in use on my rMBP since I use the built in display + 2 external monitors
I see it on both
No, developer release
thanks
Special license (unlimited number of boot drives).
Do you have an external monitor ? (1600 x 900 and higher native resolution)
And if Yes, do you have heat troubles (starting when the monitor is connected, worst with DVB TV) ?
Heat troubles: heat increase to 80° and worst, MBPro starting to slow down (because an application, kernel_task, took nearly % Processor: 500% in activity monitor)
