gordon g Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi everyone. Heres my experience so far. It took me a little to get into the forum. 'registration website issues'. I had Ubuntu 10.10 on my system and very happy with it. Backed up my ubuntu with a software g4l. The iniital OSX install was amazingly easy, I was very impressed! I got cool book running, kinda spotty on being reliably working? Next.. EDP's Time machine backup. All fine and dandy until I tryed backup my Ubuntu and copy it to back to the drive. G4L wouldn't see my Partitions! Well without getting into too much of my headaches and installing OSX a few times and ubuntu a few. My ubuntu install was MBR and couldn't get it moved to GUID, I gave up struggling with it and copied my important data with Ubuntu One and started a fresh install of Ubuntu. I ended up doing a fresh install of Ubuntu after OSX Install. Having partitioned GUID and making split partitions from ubuntu live cd. Setup to run along side another OS. Partitions I used (From memory) 210MB for BOOT 8GB for / 15 GB for /home 2.5GB for Swap 22GB for OSX The Rest for a future Windows install Ubuntu will automatically check for other OS's and list them on GRUB. I did time machine backup, but cool book was not running correctly and then I uninstalled and reinstalled it. now I cannot register it. (I sent a support email off a few days ago..) no response as of yet. Other than my heat issues on OSX until I get Cool book running again. I love it! Dual boot OSX and Ubuntu. Sweetness! Thanks everyone for your amazing install. Cheers, -Gordo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
