Hi, and thanks for the great forum!

 

I have Vista and Ubuntu 7.10 currently installed on my PC, and am considering trying installing OSX86.

 

I have a Core 2 Duo processor, the computer is: HP Pavilion 1654n

 

So I think the Kalyway patched 10.5.1 OSX86 Install DVD is the most reliable, but correct me if I am wrong.

 

My question: how do I keep the Ubuntu GRUB bootloader, and not permit the OSX86 installation to install its own bootloader. (I want to triple boot)

 

I haven't tried installing yet, because I don't want to take uneccesary chances...

 

I am planning to install OSX86 on a different SATA drive than Windows and Linux are on.

 

Thanks for helping a NOOB!

yes use kalyway and then make sure to click customize and not choose any bootloaders...

Neither mbr nor guid

 

after that u should be able to keep grub, make sure u have an extra partition though.

 

Then dont play around with the mbr , tri boot is very unstable (most of the time)

i tried it and had to reinstall my leopard

 

tell us if it works..

good luk

I'm exactly in the same case, using both Mandriva and Windows and about to install Mac OS. Since I wanna keep grub, ill try to follow your advices.

But I'm on a laptop, and I read somewhere that you cant install Mac OS on the same hard drive as xp/linux, even if there are different partitions. Is this true ?

Otherwise, is it possible to put Mac OS on an external drive ?

 

Thanks

Youri
