T61 (Intel): Steps for Lion & Mint install to 2nd HD?
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2011 6:30 pm
Hi Guys,
I've been perusing some of the recent threads here for instructions, and most seem to be step-by-steps for dual boots, or based on other models. I'm curious if anyone has done a clean install to a secondary HD that could be run from a 2nd HDD adapter in the Ultrabay, and differences for an install on an Intel-based T61.
I specifically want to install Lion or Snow Leopard to a empty 160GB drive in my UB. I'd also like to leave room for a Mint install there too, since I won't be doing a dual-boot one on my main HD (Had thought about it). Are there some changes or preparation I should undertake before the OS install to make sure I can then add Linux? (Like using a different bootloader, formatting it differently etc)
I appreciate any advice.
