Hi Clive, > What you need to do to get BootX to boot your installed Linux system is > copy the initrd.gz and vmlinux from your installed system onto the Mac > partition and then replace the installer versions in "Linux Kernels" > with these installed versions.

From what the docs tell, you cannot write to HFS+, so when reinstalling, make sure that you initialize the harddisk with HFS instead of HFS+. > Let me know if you have more success. I'll let you know once i'm booted to the sys *g* -- Best regards, Kilian
