Linux boot loader

[french squared]

I have been reading alot before starting my install (Im waiting for parts)

 

It seems that with a EP45-UD3P it is best to use David Eliott's modified boot-132 bootloader.

 

I understand that you boot the machine off of the boot-132 disk, then

replace with the retail OSX. I get lost from there. If OSX is installed. It

would seem that the rest of the steps are just making the bootloader?

Is that correct.

 

If so couldnt you just install linux on another partition and

then make a grub bootloader?

 

On my current laptop I have OSX/Vista/and fedora.

I started with Kalway, then used the Kalway disk to make

my partitions. After installing Kalway, I installed Vista.

AT this piont I never tried to boot into OSX since Im certain

Bista took control. The next step was to install Fedora.

When installing Fedora it found the other OS and creates a

Grub entree for each of them. It took me a few minutes to modify

the grub bootloader but everything is working great. I was even

able to create graphics for the bootloader that match my themes.

 

When I have problems with OSX I use Linux to make the changes.

I cant count how many times I have used linux to modify the

OSX ktext.

 

Another good point is that I can reinstall OSX as much as I want

and not hurt the bootloader. The bootloader (Grub) is on the linux

partition. Therefore I can change windows and OSX all I want.

 

 

Thanks for reading.
