There is a well known bug on YellodogLinux installer. However there is |
| 8 |
not any data loss, and there are easy way to fix it. It does NOT |
| 9 |
overwrite anything. It changes partition type from Apple_partition_map |
| 10 |
to boot partition, so OS X can't boot. Read rest about their web site. |
