Hi there,
I am also interested in installing SL on my mid-2009 macbook-pro (currently
running OSX 10.9-Mavericks). My intended usage tough would be the inverse of
Nico Kadel-Garcia's: I’d be mostly using osx and occasionally switch to SL to
do code testing and profiling.
Would anyone in this forum have a comment on doing a VM installation of SL as
compared to have a dual-boot using a boot manager, like rEFInd
http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
(which is a fork of the un-mantained rEFIt)
With regards,
Cuauhtémoc (Témok) Salazar
