gauol Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I’m very much a noob at this; I’m trying to figure out the many different install methods and understanding the relationship between the many tools involved (boot think, chameleon, efi, mbr). Let me describe what I’m trying to do… Currently I run dual boot Winblows XP / Fedora 11 what I’d like to do is add another partition (triple boot) and install OS X 10.6 (to see how well it runs). I have found this thread that indicates OS X will install however it also indicates some issue with the LCD something to do with LVDS. I’m hoping he just used an incompatible method and maybe with some pointers I might be able to get this working. The specs of my laptop follow.
