[ILUG] Fedora on Macbook

[ILUG] Fedora on Macbook

I found the easiest way is install the rEFIt utility
(http://refit.sourceforge.net/). But this would be done under OS X
beforehand.

Then, during installation, save the boot loader to the root partition
(*not* the MBR). The rEFIt utility makes dual-/multi-booting very
similar to on other hardware, providing a graphical OS selection upon
booting.

Have you completely removed OS X? If not, you may want to try using
the OS X recovery disk to repair your MBR and try again.
