hi, I'm trying to put Ubuntu and WinXP onto my new iMac Leopard.

I follow the steps in
http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp

But when running diskutil :
# diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 200G "Linux" "Linux" 64G "MS-DOS FAT32" "Windows" 32G

It complains about "Linux" not a valid file system type.

Just doing resize the Mac parition is OK :
# diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 200G

Retrying the above 3 partition commands still fail.

Any idea? Is that OnMac steps not for 10.5 OSX?

Thanks in advance.


BTW, I am a unix/linux guy, so pretty comfortable with commands. But new to Mac ...

Well since you will be formatting the partition on install of Ubuntu anyways I would just make the partition FAT32 actually I would make the second partition you should have for swap FAT32 as well.
