How do you install these without site on the Mac? Could I just use Boot Camp
and then toss in a linux disk and go? I know the instructions I found on the
Ubuntu say you have to use a certain utility loaded from the boot loader
that won't speak to sync the partition table after installing or something,
but is there now a way around that? I thought they said it was a menu-based
thing you have to boot into. I tried one of the versions of Ubuntu awhile
back using Easyvmx's online utility that basically creates an empty virtual
machine for VMWare Player, but with heavy activity in the sense of a lot of
text being generated, Orca just locks, and I end up needing a whole system
restart as you can't kill it easily in this state either. I think that's to
do with the sound driver in VMWare, so I'd rather try it the real way on my
Macbook, but don't have the sighted help. Is there an easy way?

I've found this too. Have you tried to reduce the burning speed to the
lowest possible speed for your machine? Sometimes for some reason when DVDs
etc are burned quickly, some sort of corruption takes place. This makes me
wonder why such speeds exist if corruption occurs after using them.

Hi,
Recently, I have had to try out a number of different GNU/Linux distros. I
use Safari to download them from their web sites and then, using disk
utility, burn the DVD. I got this to work with the SpeakUp Modified Fedora
but all other downloads cause Disk Utility to crap out on verification.
This is on a six month old MacBook Pro 13 which shouldn't have any really
bad problems yet.
Any ideas?
