Thanks for the link! I can follow those instructions, though I now
am unsure if I will or not.

I do have good backups of my OSX stuff. But if things happened to
get hosed up, I'm still looking at several hours of reformatting,
reinstalling, and restoring data. Just because I wouldn't
permenantly lose data doesn't mean it wouldn't be a PITA to get it
back. I'm not sure it's worth that. I may just wait until this is
either less experimental, or I get some different hardware to run
Ubuntu on.
