Bug Description

Some Apple hardware requires 'macfanctld' in order to control fans. (Sane defaults in /etc/macfanctld.conf are another story altogether, but some Macbooks and iMacs will not spool up the fans at all without it and consequently can overheat, crash, etc.)

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

1. On Apple hardware, macfanctld is not installed or activated by default on the LiveCD.

WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN

2. When Apple hardware is detected, macfanctld should be activated on the LiveCD.
