I just finished following ~pcwiz's VMware guide, and after the success of that, I was wondering "Can I install OS X along side Vista and Ubuntu without reinstalling the other OS's?" I would probably use the Kalyway 10.5.2 iso
Stats:
Dell inspiron 1720
Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7250 (2ghz)
4gb ram
230 gb HDD:
~190gb for Vista
~10 for ubuntu
~I have 15 gb of "free space" that I could use for the OS X install (already shrunk from the Vista partition (but nothing else done to it))
-Would I need to do anytthing fancy to make OS X find that empty 15 gb?
Any help would be appreciated
Full Version: Dell 1720 Triple boot?
Ya I did this no problem did the same triple boot. on 1720, and did a dual boot on 1525 with out having to reinstall vista --- just shrink the drive made it a FAT32 -- then format it again under the Mac DVD as a Jounaled.... never touch the vista partion... you will probley get a error, soon as you restart after installing the Mac -- don't freak out.... find some - partion boot manger - boot CD before you start and put that in after you get the error.... its going to mark the Mac partion 'active' just mark it inactive.... and mark Vista partion Active - with any partion boot tool.... then when you boot to vista, I installed 'easyBCD' with this tool you can add your mac to boot vista....thats the way I did it and never had to delete my orignal vista.... I don't know if you could do it with darwin (mac boot loader) .... without reinstalling vista.... So just use the easyBCD boot loader... hope that helps....
oh and you probley want to free up more space than that.... its pretty small for OSx it will fit really tight..... and you might want another partion - that is FAT32, maybe a 4th partion thats FAT32, because you won't be able to see Mac partion in vista and you can't edit vista partion in Mac.... but if you have a 4th partion that has Fat32.... you can tranfer files from one to another... thats what I do... if I have a file I want access too on both platforms I through it in my FAt32 drive

Hey- Thanks a LOT! 
Just a quick question, which version of OS X did you use?
oh and were you using grub?
