Hello Everybody
I'm new here, new to Linux and I really hope to find help here! :-)
I have a white Intel MacBook from last summer ('08 ), with OS X 15.5.6 Leopard on it. Through the last half year I have had Windows XP SP3 running by Boot Camp on a FAT32-partition. I would like to try to have Ubuntu running as well (and not just on a Live-CD or flashdrive), if it is possible, without destroying the stability of the OS X and the WinXP?
I found this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation - and on 6.6. there is a description of what to do, in my case. According to that guide, I have allready (a half year ago) done 1-9 - except:
3 Don't install it through Bootcamp.
Actually I HAVE installed WinXP through BootCamp. Can I then carry on following the guide's 10-18 or will this cause trouble?
More over, a couple of months ago, I have recreated WinXP through a disc image earlier made in WinClone - http://twocanoes.com/winclone/ - does this have anything to say?
Can I still use WinClone to backup the WinXP-partition after installing Ubuntu?
I really hope you can help me - I'm SO READY to start using Ubuntu!! :-)
