Hi Colin, Thank you for your coment. I'm a lay person to Linux. So lots of the terms used are new to me.
My present laptop is a Mac iBook running OS_X 10.4.9 and am happy with it. I just want to 'dip my toes' into Ubuntu as I've been reading a lot of positive news about it. So, what I did was to attach an external hdd with two (2) partitions created using Mac OS_X's "Disk Utility". The 1st. partition is about 7GB and is formatted in "Free space". The 2nd is a bare install of Mac OS_X 10.4. I then reboot using the Ubuntu 6.10 Install CD and then click on the Install icon, and chose the external hdd as the target and the "Continous free space" option. The installation went smoothly UNTIL at about the 97% install complete stage. The install stalled, a message stating something like "yaboot" failed to install. I know that "Yaboot" stands for "Yet Another Boot". :-) That's where I stopped "for a cup of coffee". Regards, Sin-Wah Tan (Singapore) PS: I've installed Ubuntu 6.06 successfully into another external hdd before this episode.
