I did this on a Mac Mini, but I expect everything should be the same for other Mac computers. ![]() I managed to do this thanks to a couple of interesting articles I found on the web (see the references section below), but I came across a few problems along the way, so I thought I would write down a detailed description of the steps I followed for future reference, and for the benefit of others who may want to do the same. In this post, I’m going to explain how I did set up the triple boot. Now that I’ve been using it for three months, I am quite happy with it, especially because I installed Windows 7 and Linux (Fedora 14) on it, so I can use it for cross-platform development, switching between operating systems without the need to have separate machines. I didn’t really want to get a new monitor and a keyboard and a mouse that would join the stockpile of hardware lying around, so the Mac Mini concept made sense. ![]() Now the Mac Mini is just a box that you connect to a monitor, and this was the perfect arrangement for me since I already have a monitor and several keyboards and mice.
