is it possible to dual boot with tiger and no additional proprietary software (ie without bootcamp or vmfusion or parallels)?
i don't mind wiping my hard drive and reinstalling everything. i have a 16gb flash drive to backup my files with.
this is how i see it working:
1) boot with the tiger install disk
2) use disk utility to create 3 (or 4 for a shared) partition
2a) 200 mb efi
2b) 20 gb hfs+ (mac)
2c) 20 gb ntfs (shared)
2d) 20 gb fat 32 (xp)
... or something like that
3) install tiger
4) install some apps - including rEFIt
5) boot w/ xp install disc and install
will that work? am i forgetting anything? i got my next door neighbor to burn the driver disc (im not sure how updated it is and i don't know if i need different drivers with xp 64 vs 32)
does this sound reasonable? or am i crazy?
