The results may refer to installing other distros, such as Ubuntu, b= ut it's surely just a matter of adapting the instructions to get partitions= and a systemrescueCD root prompt. I have the most recent version of systemrescueCD on a usb stick and it is not recognized at boot time (holding option key down). Will try to get a Ubuntu CD. It seems to work on my particular macbook pro (6,2) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro Thanks for the inputs. -- Valmor > > I think there are alternative methods, besides Boot Camp, to get multi-bo= ot. Boot Camp sets up a second partition, but I don't believe it can do a t= hird. I believe it's possible to get triple-boot (for example) on a Mac, bu= t you're obliged not to use Boot Camp in this case. > > Stroller. > > >
