Parallels

The install was a total breeze. Download an iso, make a new VM of type redhat linux, turn it on, map the ISO to a device, install.

Edit

/boot/grub/grub.conf

and append vga=XXX to the uncommented line that begins with 'kernel' so that it looks something like:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 vga=791

Not sure where the 791 came from; found it on some forum.

We don't need the 'smart' disk stuff, since Mac OS X handles all that

sudo find /etc/rc.d/rc* -name '*smartd*' | xargs rm
