Install Linux: 10.6 Needed?
I'm trying to install a Linux distro on my Intel iMac (5,3) with Mac OS X 10.7.5. I've created a number of coasters trying to burn install discs that will boot from my external DVD drive (LG M-Disk Super Multi). Over and over again I get either "No operating system found" or just a blinking cursor with a black screen. VirtualBox installs Linux to a virtual hd without a hitch, but I'd like Linux installed on my physical hd. I've read 10.7 has made some massive changes in the EFI boot and 10.6 is recommended. Is that valid information?
