how to install dragora on macbook pro with linux partition sda4
I created a linux partition using parted and fdisk, but setup gives an error that says it can't find the linux partition.
cfdisk only shows a single GPT partition, but fdisk shows all 4 partitions including the Linux one I made. What to do?
for future reference, is there a way to save a text file of what I see on the command line?
Code:
parted -l
gives

I am not at all familiar with Dragora (but I'm sure someone who is will correct me here if I'm wrong) but maybe it just doesn't support GPT type disks.

Just pipe the command output to a text file, for example:
Code:
# parted -l > output.txt
You should try out a live version of the distribution first to check hardware compatibility before you install it.
I am booting from a live DVD...
yeah I don't know how to get rid of GPT without screwing up my system. I'll start by wiping a different computer that I have and start from scratch, making the entire thing ext2 linux.
yeah I was using rEFInd to boot live linux dvds and try to create and install into a ext2 or ext3 partition ... but gpt / GUID just sounds like a HUGE pain to deal with
