Hi Everyone, I'm new to the list and this is my first post. I've been given a Macbook 4,1 (2008) from a friend and I would like to install Linux on it. I have never installed Linux on a Macbook before so I'm in unfamiliar waters. I know that it has no bios and I think uses something called EFI for booting. I want to install Gentoo Linux on the Macbook. I'm using the SystemRecueCD usb installer because it's gentoo based and the DVD drive on this Macbook is shot. The main gaps in my knowledge with doing this install surround Grub and partitioning. Is installing and configuring grub different? Do I have to change the way I setup partitions? I don't want to dual boot, I just want a pure Gentoo MacBook. Has anyone on the list done a Macbook before? As I said I've never done this type of install before and know nothing about Macbooks or EFI. thanks, Brett.
