This is true, however, they also do not deliberately prevent you from
installing other operating systems. Once you create the second
partition, you can install whatever you want. The firmware on the mac
does provide basic bios emulation for operating systems that require it.
Original message:
I can't see why but Apple themselves do not support installing and
configuring Linux under Bootcamp; only Windows and even then only
Windows 7 is officially supported by Apple.

Hi Chris, Just wondering if it is possible to set up vinux in boot
camp. Just a thought. I ofcorse would have to burn the iso image to a
cd, but then again.

Hello all
Well I managed to do it, get Windows 7 installed and working properly
via Bootcamp. My thoughts are very good so far! But lol! No where can I
adjust the brightness, even though I have the latest Bootcamp Support
software as of yesterday, the 8th of December! Lol!
So goodness knows how bright my screen is now.
Reason I'm saying this is the lower the brightness the longer the battery life.
But yes, Bootcamp is very good and think I actually prefer it over
Fusion, just so I can avoid the key remapping issues.
The guide I posted worked a treat at my end, from start to finish.
Anyway, may e-mail you from my Bootcap partition at some point. Haven't
set up the internet yet as just seeing what I can and can't do.
Brightness appears to be the only issue so far, along with a limited
set of Power Management features.
Keep you posted.
Chris.
