So recently, ie last week, I took my powerbook through the process of setting it up to be a dual boot system. Previously, I was only using Kubuntu Linux as my operating system, and that was a recent installation of Edgy Eft - the codename for the latest release of that software. However some of that code was still from the test release cycle, and in addition to some other problems I wanted to do a clean install. I also wanted a backup plan for last Friday night’s presentation; just in case I was unable to recognize the projector in Kubuntu - I wanted OS X around to be able to do that.
Rather than using this handy method, which required OS X already be installed, I had to wipe everything first, install the Apple software and the install Kubuntu. Did not really take more more than a couple hours to completely install, configure and recover my data. Now, this beast has a 8 GB partition that will allow me to run Apple software if I really want to do so. Plus, I found this package on SourceForge, that allows me to mount the Kubuntu partition under OS X and use my data over there! Awesome!
