== Preparation ==
* Resize your main OS X partition using the disk utility to free up space.
* Install the [http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ refind boot manager] from OS X using the <code>bless</code> utility.
== Notes ==
Generation 2,1 macbooks have a 32-bit EFI. You'll need to install a 32-bit refind, 32-bit grub, 32-bit kernel, and 32-bit userspace.
== Installation ==
Pop in a live CD or other installation media. From there, install grub2-efi to the EFI partition at EFI/grub. It will be the VFAT/FAT32 partition with a relatively low partition number. Be careful ''not'' to install grub to the MBR. Also install your kernel and userspace as usual, using the free space you made with the OS X partition manager.
Example grub.cfg
<pre>menuentry "linux latest" {
root=(hd0,gpt3)
fakebios
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 i915.modeset=1 video=efifb
initrd /initrd.img
}
</pre>
Example fstab
<pre># /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# file system mount point type options dump pass
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat ro,nosuid,nodev 0 2
/dev/sda4 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0
</pre>
== Post-Installation ==
* For right-click, run <code>synclient TapButton2=3</code>.
* For headphone output, <code>sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer</code> and unmute the second speaker ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/201957 Ubuntu bug]).
