Fedora on a Mac
Hi Everyone
I am using a Macbook .The original white one not the Pro(MacBook7,1).It has a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz.I have been trying to get a fedora installed on it because the RHEL 6 Installation failed.I downloaded the Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso and ran it but it dint boot.After which I used Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.iso and booted into Anaconda .Using the use free space option I completed the installation.Besides the 30GB Mac Partition, I also had two 45 GB partitions one for Ubuntu and one for Mint now after installing Fedora 16 they both dont work.Only Mac OS X works , How do I get fedora to work on my machine?
Attached is a link of The current partition table in GParted.

I tried the same thing with Fedora 17 .Said Installation complete but it failed to boot after.I installed custom this time.With an ext4 and a swap.I use rEFIt for booting as Mac is my primary operating system.On which my work is done.Do you think a quad boot is advisable ? Since its three distro's of Linux and Mac OS X.I thought it could be done quite easily.It was working excellent till I tried installing Fedora in the remaining space.I wanted Fedora as its the closest free alternative to Red Hat and it will help me get a feel of what the Enterprise is Like.Will grub 2 be replacing rEFIt ?

i dont' know, what type of grub or something use Mac Osx, but for example, to install windows and linux, firts install windows and after install fedora, in another partition.
maybe you have a use virtualbox to make a VM and test all distros of linux, of course my recomendation is use Fedora 17...
