Since you're doing this on a Macintosh host, you probably want to use the Macintosh disk partitioning utility to start. If your goal is a dual boot system, you can simply use Boot Camp for your linux. You'll also be able to access that install from within the OS X environment using a virtual machine manager like VMware or VirtualBox on the Mac. Handy. If you're looking to also support a boot of Microsoft Windows, things get a bit more complex. I'd recommend googling for something like: osx "triple boot" hth Janina Linux for blind general discussion writes: > Has anyone partitioned a Mac, installed Linux on one partition and kept > MacOS on the other? > > What tools should I use? > > Was any part of the process inaccessible? > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa
