Existing users, 
There's currently a bug in version 0.0.1 where it won't install the system from the install disc that comes with the MacBook. Apparently there is a file it's looking for in the System/Installation/Packages folder for the OSInstallCache, but this file is missing on the MacBook MacOS X Installation disk.
So, until this is fixed, this won't be useable for MacBook users.
I would like to also chime in though on the request to use the current system on the MacBook instead of the Installation disks. This would make this a great option for people who are having issues on their computers and perhaps lost their installation disks. Perhaps it could be an option choice, since trying to copy active system files could create an unstable system. Still, it would be nice to have the option.

are you sure that you're using the 0.0.1 version? because that was a bug in 0.0.1b, fixed in 0.0.1b1…regarding to that option, well, it will probably be implemented in a future release, but already exists such utilities. the goal of portableosx is to make a clean, small mac os x "distro", not to clone the user's disk. there already are good utilities, like carbon copy cloner, that can do this.
