I did all that and I finally got it to boot with the
os manager. Now I got it to the point that I need to
repartition the HD. It says that I can't use druid so
I'm going with fdisk.
Now this is my dilemma: should I wipe out the
partitions, should I leave some, what should I do? I
read somewhere that it can't boot straight to Linux,
that it needs to load in mac and then go into linux.
Here it goes the partition map:
#: type name length @ base size
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 64 @ 64
3: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 64 @ 128
4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192
5: Apple_HFS MacOS 4127047 @ 704(2.0G)
6: Apple_Free Extra 65664 @ 4127751
(32M)
What should I do?
