Linux on Mac?

Posted on January 11, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

hi all, got a major problemo here, i ran a SUSE Linux live cd on a friend’s mac. it worked quite fine when i tried returning to the mac OS the system gave me the following message “Cannot find Bootable Device”, which is strange cos the Mac OS was running just fine befor i restarted the system for the Linux live cd. the only thing i know i did was direct the Mac to use the CD-ROM as the first bootable device, i did this within the OS itself, i guess that’s what’s giving me problems. please how do i reverse the process.
Mean while i want to install Linux on the Mac, will it affect the files on the system.

It sounds like a grinding almost. Like the old floppy disk when the data was being read/written. I am trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop but it seems like the cd-rom isnt reading the CD fast enough. Any Ideas?

The machine is a Toshiba Satellite Laptop.Celeron Class Processor I am trying to install Ubuntu Linux onto it via a live CD Burned on a CD-r. It will boot into the live OS (after 20 minutes) but when I go to install it seems to hang up and is always trying to read the CD

Posted on June 9, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

ok so its like this-ive got a test next week and the cd rom of my computer at school does not work so if this doesnt help im really screwed. so basically ive got a kubuntu live cd and a laptop and i want to know if i can make some minor modifications with the console module(rename folders, make new once etc) without installing that bullcrap on my laptop. 10x
ok im not going to install it. 2-nd option-can i make the same modifications on a usb memory drive, not on the cd.
