[QUOTE="MarioMover, post: 1631571, member: 338894"] So, I had an idea. I was working on finding a Skype client for OS-X Tiger, when I figured I could easily install Linux to dual-boot with OS-X. I tried a few resources, and here are a few notes: The most successful installer was Unetbootin and Linux Mint. However, the thing said "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac. Insert it into a PC, and select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu." What does that mean? Also, how do I partition Macintosh HD to give something for Linux to work with? All of the tutorials said it needed a partition in the hard drive. However, I only have my main hard drive, and it says "You cannot partition this drive" or something along those lines. It needs to be done in Disk Utility though, 'cause I can't get in to Boot Camp. How do I partition my Macintosh HD in Disk Utility and how do I create a LiveUSB with Unetbootin for Mac? Thanks :) -MarioMover [/QUOTE]
