3. Determine which partition for MacOSX needs to be set "Active"

• Type p

• Verify which partition is for MacOSX (1, 2, 3, etc.)

4. Set the partition "Active"

• Assuming it is partition 1,type f 1 <== use your partition number here !!

5. Save and exit

• Type write

• Type y (yes you are sure)

• Type exit (to quit)

• Get to terminal
  

1. boot up the osx86 install dvd
2. select tools in the top menu bar

The other day I was over my friends house playing around with his G5 imac and noticed how much fun photobooth really is. Unfortunatly for me I only have a powerbook and no built in I-Sight. After searching for solutions and finding nothing, I decided it was time to grab myself photobooth and plug my firewire camera in. Thankfully it worked flawlessly and now I am in photobooth bliss.

1. Get ahold of photobooth
2. hook up firewire camera
3. run photobooth
   
4. enjoy
