If you have partitioning issues, look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159047 for a solution. Try and give your free partition a name in the OS X installer, as opposed to it being nameless. FC-4 can’t run on a USB connected hard drive.

I've reformatted/repartitioned the hard drive 5 times so far (the first time was so that I could install FC4, or at least try to), but it seems that the Mac partitioning tool completely bolluxes up the partition table to a point where FC4 can't deal with it. Do you know if FC4 can be run off a USB connected hard drive? I purchased this mini planning to run Linux and OS X side by side, but it seems that, at least for now, they refuse to play nice.

Can we say "console"? And yes, OS X is teh hotness whether it's PPC or x86. Of course IBM is unfazed. Can we say “console”? And yes, OS X is teh hotness whether it’s PPC or x86.
