[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1519417, member: 46727"] First, rEFIt is not going to work to install Linux or anything else. It's a boot menu and manager, not an installer. Once Linux is installed correctly then rEFIt can be used as a boot menu and manager. After you have correctly built a Linux flash drive, you'll need to use Disk Utility from the recovery partition in order to create a partition for Mint. Boot with the flash drive and make sure you install GRUB on the Linux partition not on your OS X partition. Be real careful. And make a cloned backup of your hard drive before starting. Use Carbon Copy Cloner as it will also clone the recovery partition. [/QUOTE]
