w00t, hi every1. I'm postin after a a long time
I'm tryin to make a Mac os X leopard, Linux Mint and 2k3 triple boot. Will be attempting to do that in an hour after i bakup my data. damn this leopard is frikkin awesome btw
MEGA W00T !!
Finally I did it! After hours of fiddling around and lots of errors, a perfect working tri-boot with 3 totally working os's, weeeeee!!!!
What I just did -
1. Partiton my HDD to 3 equal parts.
2. Install 'Windoze' XP on teh first partition ( sry but thats what i like to call it )
3. Install Mac OS X Leopard and using 'chain0' method to boot from XP bootloader.
3. Install Linux Mint 4.0 and set 'boot' flag to XP partition.
and it works like a charm [Please note that details for installing mac os x shall not be provided in any way here]
So, these steps may be used and only serially if you want to boot successfully.
The methods for Vista in place of XP should differ, and usage of 'EasyBCD' is recommended for it.
Now can any1 beat this tri-combo ?
I guess not! hehe...
This beats up like this -
1. In the mood for pwnage gaming at any time ? use XP/Vista and be sure to use a good antivirus and firewall like NOD32 av with any other firewall, or avg with 3rd party firewall, or Kaspersky internet security for extra safety
2.WAnt to safely browse the net without the hassle of worrying about f**kin viruses on your back ? Use Linux or Mac os x with the confidence that 'duh' an exe virus ? meh...doesn't matter...
3. Want creativity ? Use Photoshop in mac os x and have good quality photo editing adventures.
4. Want to work, and miss ms office ? No problem, OpenOffice will suffice you, if NOT, then iWork is your mate.
My Personal choice and prolly the best combo - Mac OS X w/ Linux, the unbeatable Duo
Additional comments - I really Love those iMacs, gonna buy them in summer. So, will use mac os x (on pc) for testing till then, do not misunderstand this as piracy
