Please consider using rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/ The iMac uses EFI, and the approach I took was this: 1. Install Mac OS updates. 2. Run bootcamp, resize the iMac partition so that I have one large partition extra. 3. rEFIt (I think I did steps 2, 3 in this order: read rEFIt docs) 4. Boot F11 installation disk (Note that last time I checked, F12 has no proper support for the iMac 27" ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9488] video; I installed F11 so that the proprietary driver will work till the free driver is available. The alternatives appear to be: install the F11 xorg compoiled for F12 (can be downloaded from somewhere), or Ubuntu have a deal with ATI to package a preview version of the 10.4 driver: extract from the .deb package, build and install) 5. I did not delete the EFI partition, nor the Mac partition, so I made one small /boot partition and then made the rest into an LVM partition, and used that to make swap and /home partitions. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org nicku@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
