Hi,
I've tried to install F12 on my Core 2 Duo iMac. The installation
seemed to go okay but there's no sign of Fedora when I boot. I hold
down the <Option> key and just get the MacOS partition. Is there a
trick to this?
Please consider using rEFIt:
http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/
The iMac uses EFI, and the approach I took was this:
1. Install Mac OS updates.
2. Run bootcamp, resize the iMac partition so that I have one large
partition extra.
3. rEFIt (I think I did steps 2, 3 in this order: read rEFIt docs)
4. Boot F11 installation disk (Note that last time I checked, F12 has
no proper support for the iMac 27" ATI Technologies Inc Device
[1002:9488] video; I installed F11 so that the proprietary driver
will work till the free driver is available. The alternatives
appear to be: install the F11 xorg compoiled for F12 (can be
downloaded from somewhere), or Ubuntu have a deal with ATI to
package a preview version of the 10.4 driver: extract from the .deb
package, build and install)
5. I did not delete the EFI partition, nor the Mac partition, so I
made one small /boot partition and then made the rest into an LVM
partition, and used that to make swap and /home partitions.
