Hi -- I tried last night to install Ubuntu on an external FW drive on my Macbook.It wouldn't reboot from the external drive, and managed to kill the install on my main HD -- hopefully the drive itself is ok, but I'm not sure (I can see it in the restore list). I tried restoring from TimeMachine to my internal drive, but that didn't work, so I ended up restoring OSX to the external drive, and am currently booting from that. What I'm hoping to do now, then, is to install Ubuntu on the internal HD, as I want to use it as my main dev environment anyway, so that could all have worked out in the end, if my internal HD is ok. I thought, however, I'd ask the expert collective about any potential gotchas before trying this -- there appear to be a few to ubuntu on a mac that I was not previously aware of! ;) Cheers, Doug.
