Thanks to intel processor compatibility I tried to install 3 OS (osx Leopard, win xp pro, ubuntu 7.10) on the same machine: my new imac 20′.
Last weekend, on a very bad rainy day, I dedicated to the installations taking cue from some tutorials I found on the internet.
The main difference I found (usually tutorials refer to installations starting from a 10.4.x system) is about Boot Camp: using Leopard, you no loger need to create a windows dirvers cd with Boot Camp, simply install win xp and insert Leopard CD/DVD in your DVD drive: drivers will be automatically installed on your system… pretty cool!
Also, diskutil utility, provided by osx doesn’t still support
“Linux” partitioning type, I solved the problem creating the Linux partition as HFS+ and then re-formatting it during ubuntu installation process. In the picture you can see rEFIt showing the boot menu.
Except for this two differencies, I followed the tutorial and everything is ok (audio, video etc.); now, as you can see in the pictures, I can choose which OS use on my new imac!
