Not sure if this is the best place to put this post.
I have created a dual boot on my macbook pro
Macbook Pro 13": October 2011
processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory(ram): 4GB 1333 MHZ DDR3 (2x2gb chips)
HDD: 500gb
what i did was to
1. installed refit
2. created a 40gb partition using Disk Utility.
3. installed Linux Mint 13 Lts (cinnamon version)
what i would like to know is
1. there a way to edit refit so i can change the default linux image to the Linux mint logo.
2. can i get refit to boot a usb setup with grub4dos boot loader on a small fat32 partition.
any help would be appreciated.
Edit: there is not much info out there about refit boot manager. but i am guessing if nothing else there is a config file around that i can edit to achieve what i want. :Edit
Edit 2: as mentioned below i have removed rEFIt and installed rEFIud. I have Linux Mint setup and working with a default Linux entry. Not the Linux Mint one. As far as i can tell the Linux Mint entry should be done automatically by rEFIud. I am having trouble working out what to do to setup a manual entry for my Linux Mint OS which i have installed on a separate ext4 partition. Disk Utility does not recognise the ext4 partition. I have installed osxfuse click here but Disk Utility still wont recognise and mount the ext4 linux mint partition so i can setup the entry for Linux Mint.
If anyone can help it would be great. :Edit
