Sure no problem. More info: I've managed to get past the EFI partition creation error by increasing the premade fat32 partition from 32 megs to 48 (I tried 36 and it still didn't work). I noticed I got warnings/errors from gparted when creating the partition. I didn't notice them before b/c it worked fine, copying files to and from it... On a related note the installer usually takes a loong time to read parition info from my mac HD (about 5 minutes), but every now and then it will do it in <60 seconds. Is this normal? I ask only because this dampens my enthusiasm for exhaustive trial and error & bug reporting (Repeating these steps once will take about 20 minutes). So if it can be sped up, all the better. Thanks.
