Linux Japes
Well, dear readers, I succeeded in partitioning the hard drive on my iBook, and managed to install both OS X Tiger and Fedora Core 4, however, the boot loader ended up b0rking everything, meaning I was left unable to access either OS X or Linux. Buggerybollocks.
I reformatted everything, repartitioned the drive, and reinstalled OS X. I will reattempt the Linux installation later when I am better informed and educated as to what I am doing. I need to research the proclivities of Apple's own boot loader, Bootstrap, and I may need to investigate the need for another add-on called Rawhide. Failing this, I may select an alternate Linux platform, as this could easily be a Fedora Core 4 and iBook issue. Oh Joy....
As for my university coursework, I received a very surprising first for my final British Politics essay, and a predicted 2:1 for my Sociology essay. I am now awaiting the results of my Social Policy essay, and the results of my British Politics and Core Skills exams.
Adieu for now, folks!
