Run MacOSX+XP (Bootcamp) and Ubuntu?

[rscow]

Is it possible to take an intel MacBook, and run Bootcamp and install XP. Then, boot into XP, install the Ubuntu Live CD, and install Ubuntu into the Windows partition...using space from the windows partition to make new ext3 partitions for ubuntu?

Then, when the windows icon was clicked on startup, would Grub launch, and allow me to boot Ubuntu?

It occurred to me that it might work.

Haven't bought the MacBook yet ... but am planning to.

Thanks.

no idea about triple-boot though.

Well, I should have searched better. The URL you provided was rich with info. Thanks very much.

It looks like the Triple Boot can and has been done. I have to ask myself whether I need it or not. It would be cool. And I would find the geek part of myself very satisfied I think.;)

I'll do some reading and planning.

Best.

you should definately do it. also get PARALLELS so that you can silmutaneously boot and use all three! then post about how it works. you wouldnt need to reboot to use diff operating systems. thats the first thing im doing when i get a macbook.
