I have just tried installing Ubuntu 8.10 on /dev/sda3 (next to /dev/sda3 that I have grml installed) and it works. I can boot Ubuntu.
I am on hold on the usb installation because I am lacking of knowledge about efi. I think BootCamp did something on my GUID Partition Table when it created a vfat partition for Windows. Anyway, I will concentrate on the harddisk installtion first. I prefer grml... I use grml at home and I am so happy. I can only take my macmini to the office. Not enough budget to buy a new computer. I believe there is some few things wrong... the grml live cd is working perfectly... -- Chaitat Piriyasatit ... waking up to pee and see whats up online On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 9:57 PM, Chaitat Piriyastit <chait...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi mika, > > The screen is too short and I can't roll back.
