I just purchased a new Santa Rosa Macbook today and I'm trying to learn my way with OS X since this is my first mac computer. First of all, I'm trying to install Windows XP via boot camp but I can't see to find out how. Apparently there is supposed to be a Boot camp utility in the Applications/utility folder but I definitely don't see anything there...am I missing something?

Ummm yeah...thanks for your help but I definitely don't have that. o_O I have everything else that's listed there except for the Adobe stuff. Is there something wrong with my system? I just got this Macbook today an I didn't really touch anything till now.
 
I'm pretty sure it is installed.

"Mac OS X
Version 10.5"

I was playing with coverflow and spaces not long ago.

yeah its installed, but i dont have a clue where its at...maybe try and use the system disks and run the setup to make sure its installed
 
I think there were people saying that for some reason Boot Camp Assistant wasn't installed on a new computer, but would show up if they reinstalled Leopard.

I've noticed a lot of users not having Boot Camp installed.

You might need to get Pacifist and extra the application manually off of your installer DVD.

Pacifist while a little techy would take much less time.
 
I can't find Boot camp within the Leopard install disc...I think I'll just do a clean install.
 
spotlight sort of learns what you use most often.

This has been covered in many threads. For some reason some leopard installs are missing bootcamp.

This was posted on the apple forums:

Hello,

I called Apple support this morning, and they guided me to the Boot Camp package on the setup CD - just put the Install Disc 1 in, then in Finder, to to Go -> Go To Folder... and put

/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages
in the dialogue box. There you should see BootCamp.pkg. Running that with all the defaults puts the Boot Camp Assistant in /Applications/Utilities/

Yes, I have a Santa Rosa Macbook with a 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo. I just popped in my Leopard DVD and I'm doing a clean install of the OS now. Is it possible to not install junk software such as iWork, Office, and stuff like Garageband (or w/e?) when I do the clean install?

Yup, Just uncheck them during the install..

I think you hit customize or something..
