[QUOTE="LeanMan82, post: 1175514, member: 189281"] I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 for a project I am doing and I want to use my Mac version 10.6.5 because it has some really nice hardware that can help streamline the process. But its actually a work computer and I don't want to do anything that can hurt the files on my computer. Ideally I like to be able to just connect an external harddrive that I can boot from and run any OS that can use any of the hardware on the Mac. These are the options I have thought about: I can partition the harddrive and install Ubuntu 10.10 on the other partition. (not as preferred) because I am worried it can mess things up. Another idea, use a firewire harddrive, install Ubuntu on it then. And then just hold t whenever I want to boot from there. Are there any other ideas I can do, will these ideas work? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
