I have the hardware. At least for now, my job provides plenty of access to the latest Intel Apple machines. In fact most of my recent work has been done on Apple hardware. The bootloader is indeed different, but there's a gret piece of software called refit that can be used instead of the default Apple bootloader. It can then, in turn, boot lilo or grub from a partition. Anyway, more on that in the near future. Hopefully I'll have some time on Wednesday to write some more solid replies to this thread. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
