If you pass the section with XP you can use it to make a dual boot: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=3853 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4305-ubuntu-macosx86/#findComment-27618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, take a look at the installation guides in the wiki. They are some OSX86 installs via dd or a DVD to a partition until a disk. You just need to make some free space on your HD. If it's your first OSX86 installation make a backup of your data first, with a mistake you can delete everything.

Hagar Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Great, looks like you're well on your way! Just set up your partitions as you want them from inside ubuntu, boot the osx86 dvd & install, & then set it up in your bootloader. Easy!
