[Grml] grml and mactel

[Chaitat Piriyastit]

I have just tried installing Ubuntu 8.10 on /dev/sda3 (next to
/dev/sda3 that I have grml installed) and it works.  I can boot
Ubuntu.

I am on hold on the usb installation because I am lacking of knowledge
about efi.  I think BootCamp did something on my GUID Partition Table
when it created a vfat partition for Windows.

Anyway, I will concentrate on the harddisk installtion first.

I prefer grml... I use grml at home and I am so happy.  I can only
take my macmini to the office.  Not enough budget to buy a new
computer.  I believe there is some few things wrong...  the grml live
cd is working perfectly...
