   I'm trying MacPup for the first time. Is it necessary to wipe the partition prior to the installation? I tried the full install on my partition that already had Ubuntu on it. Letting Grub set itself up automatically worked and I can still boot into WinXP, but I can't boot into MacPup; it stops with an error (that I can't remember right now).

   I'm going to try again later by running Gparted first....but thought I'd ask first.

   Thanks!

   Did you try the frugal install? When shutting down from the live CD, it gives the option to save the settings file as well as the main Macpup files to the existing hard drive partitions. Next time you boot from the CD, the bootup will be much faster and you will have all your settings and software you installed over Macpup.

   This method is my preferred method as you don't have to touch the Grub or MBR.

   If you already have Grub, you can make adjustments to your existing Grub to boot Macpup from this kind of Frugal install.

   I'd rather install and not deal with the CD anymore.

   Can you post the error you are seeing when booting into Macpup? Also, if you can post the Grub entry that was created for Macpup, this might help too.

   OK....I went through the installation again but this time, I saved the file to the partition just before the restart. Everything is working perfectly! I used QuickPet to install Firefox and here I am!
   This is very cool!
