so what your saying is i don't need to install efi with mbr if i just make the drive bootable.?
is there any way that efi affects the way that leopard is installed on the system.
i read that. doesn't really state if i need it or not. it just says what it is and what the benefits are.

The first time i forgot to select Efi Mbr and i could install anyway, but i had to boot from the dvd. No way to boot without the dvd.
lol fesob if you didn't select the partition script there is/was a simple solution.. check the "make mac partition bootable" on the wiki
well..yeah but in my opinion efi makes your system more stable
the system CAN work without efi, but OYUR OS X INSTALLATION IS MORE STABLE so ITS BETTER TO HAVE EFI.. anyway you decide
