Some of this is in the mactel-boot package, source is in koji, and also here: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/mactel-boot/ And then there's various logical bits in Anaconda to create the HFS+ volume, and get things installed there. Some of this is documented on Matthew Garrett's blog, you'll have to search around: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/7468.html http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12037.html One thing that's also unique to Fedora is the boot media. All of Fedora's x86_64 boot media will boot BIOS, UEFI, and Macs. And that too is non-trivial. http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11285.html -- Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
