FWD: Re: [ILUG] Fedora on Macbook

2009-05-23 Thread Frank Murphy


Need some tips.
Came across this on Irish Linux User Group.
I'm not a Mac user and don't know how to help this guy.

I gave him the link to this list.

Hi,

I just tried to install Fedora 10 on my macbook. I wiped everything during
the installation and chose all the default installation options. When the
installer was complete I rebooted and was greeted by a warning: Missing
Operating System. I thought that there might have been a problem in my
installation so I did it again and was greeted by the same error afterwards.

I am using a MacBook 1.83 ghz, 2gb ram. Does anyone else have any experience
installing Fedora on a macbook or can you tell me what could be wrong?

Thanks

I have three OS on my macbook pro(OSX, WinXP and FC10). Fedora works
beautifully on macbook. I have used refit as the boot loader as shown in the
link below.

But you want just linux on your machine, situation is different. EFI works
differently from BIOS.

Thanks,
Rupak
