This is a simple guide about installation and customization of Arch Linux on Apple’s MacBook.

I. Preparation

You’ll need
- OSX Installer DVD
- Arch Linux FTP CD
- intermediate linux knowledge
and of course a MacBook ;)

II. Partitioning

However a MacBook is built for OSX and vice versa. To have always the lastest firmware updates I recommend a small partition for Apple’s OS.
Insert your OSX-DVD and install a fresh OSX with the minimum features. After the reboot resize your partition in the Darwin-Console. A minimal OSX requires about 2,7G freespace and the rest you can use for Arch. For my 74,4 GB I do:

sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 5G "Linux" Linux 69,4G

Download rEFIt and after the installation boot the Arch Linux Installer CD.
Configure your system however you like but i recommend to use only one root partition and no swap.
First of all you shut also install here rEFIt.

pacman -Sy refit

then use ‘/arch/setup’ to configure root and grub on hda3 and the other install stuff.
At last but not least sync your hd

gptsync /dev/sda

Reboot and have fun with your brand new, hopefully console-only, Linuxbox!
