Redhat and Mac osx Power PC

songeek · 08-03-2007, 01:38 AM

Hey guys, I would like to dual boot Redhat linux and Mac OS X but I don't want to screw anything up so I was wondering if anyone has done this before. Can you please tell me how to do it if you know. I did a google search of "dual boot os x and linux" and there was nothing for Redhat. There was some for Ubuntu and YellowDog but I don't want those.

Thanks in Advance

My friend has done it:
1. Make RH's boot from his root - not MBR
2. install OS-X to a ready made partition
3. let OSX's bootloader boot RH

1) You need a powerpc version of Linux. Several distros have one, including Ubuntu, Yellowdog, Fedora and Debian. I think RHEL may have a powerpc version as well, but I am not sure.

2) You mentioned Redhat Linux - I hope you don't mean Redhat 9 or any previous version. These are all obsolete, so don't even bother.

Any version of Redhat will do the job I am ok with fedora or RHEL
