I did it during the install where is asks you how to partition the drive. I chose manual and tried shrinking the size of the os x partition (plenty of room to do so) and it got stalled on the resize. Eventually, it spit out that the operation failed but no more information. Maybe other people have had better luck? When I loaded up the partition manager later I believe it was just like the partition manager had never touched the disk (gparted is what is used during install I think?). This was an Apple Laptop (silver). Think it was a macbook.
No, we didn't get it to work. My suggestion (if you're partitioning, you should do this anyways) is to back the disk up on an external drive. Then wipe the internal, re-partition, and copy the data back over. I know some people have had success with edgy under OSX in parallels. As for backing up and re-partitioning don't ask me for help on the back-up or restore, I have no idea how to do it. Comrade Ringo Kamens On 6/16/07, Michael Fötsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Did you follow any instructions that we could link to from the tutorial?
