blugg Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Fellas, Has anyone ever tried installing Ubuntu (or any Linux) after having Boot Camp and Windows installed? Any pointers or guides? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guardian_10 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 See my sig. My default OS is XP. Then I installed Leo and finally Ubuntu. I am triple booting all this using XP bootloader boot.ini. I have yet to see another person on this forum who use boot.ini like I do. Simple and efficient. No need to mess with GRUB, Darwin etc. But to each their preferences. When I installed Ubuntu, I loaded the bootloader ONLY to the partition when I installed Ubuntu and not the MBR. It all depends whether you want GRUB, Darwin or boot.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon351 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think blugg wants to do this on a Mac. May not work the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 simple as hell, use disk utility to resize the OS X partition, reformat as ext3, install ubuntu, make sure grub is put on the ubuntu partition NOT the MBR, reboot into OS X, install rEFIt, away you go. PM me if you need any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
