Guest Tecra Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) what up fellow plugged-in peoples :) ok so let me give you a little background here. first off, i have built many machines going back to early 90's and well experienced with partitioning and formatting among different components and operating systems. i have quite a few 'toys' but my wind seems to be taking up much of my free time lately (i love the wind, absolutely love it :) ). with that being said, iam currently in the process of expierementing a triple boot wind. 1) Windows XP 2) Slackware 12.2 3) Mac OSX 10.5.2 (Kalaway) so when i first got my wind i tried Pauls method of installing the OSX and everything went smoothly with a dual boot to each. after tinkering around with OSX and SwitchResX to get the resolution set at 1024x600. after restarting and wrong parameters inside SwitchResX, i stumbled upon a BSOD in OSX! after the grey screen with apple logo and gears she just times out with cool blue screen. i was eventualy able to run "single-user" mode and had a prompt at least to throw commands at! woohoo. well after trying to delete "read-only" files over and over again <_< i gave up and wiped the wind clean. so i hella just deleted all partitions and smooth sailing w/ a clean XP SP3 install to get back to mfg specs. <_< BORING i already tried to install slackware after the OSX but i dont know darwin well enough to feed it boot commands from a new partition, nor could i even find that much data on Darwin/x86 bootloader. slackware was installed just not able to boot it. so now im giving it another stab with slackware going on after xp then onto OSX. anyway, i was hoping to understand Darwin/x86 bootloader more and trying to determine if i should install slackware linux with or without LILO? :D anyone have any answers out there? ----------------------------------- msi wind u100 6 cell battery 2GB ram 160GB hdd ----------------------------------- sda1 - primary winxp ntfs sda2 - primary linux /root sda5 - logical linux swap sda6 - logical linux /home (free space left for one last primary partition OSX baby!)
