Thank you, Joseph...that did make a better impression. Yeah...I'm not terribly excited about spending money to make this work. It is more exploratory rather than having a pressing need to run Linux and only Linux...I'm just experimenting at this point. For now, it's no problem to keep using OS X and keep that free space partition, and just wait for 4.1.
In the meantime, though, I logged in to the IRC at Freenode, as suggested. No answers yet, but thanks for the tip. Thanks again.
