alloutmacstoday Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 i'm trying to use bootcamp to run linux, but everytime bootcamp tries to partition, it says "some files cannot be moved from the selected disk, backup ur HD and reformat it and then restore", does it ave something to do with the fact that i have filefault on? any help?

alloutmacstoday Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 cool, i followed some instructions to get linux on my macbook, and they said to get rEFIt, but i didn't know you could do it with that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43056-linux/#findComment-307835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah, its a pretty versatile tool, dont see why you would taint ur macbook with linux though :S (as long as its not ubuntu ) Ahh i just remembered, you can use Elilo as well (EFI LILO) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43056-linux/#findComment-307836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
