Oh, I thought it was a preference.

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pdW4DAvJDM

Okay so you got me curious about Grub. I like grub. I just had some grub. My wife makes great grub

But I digress... so are you now talking about making a linux partition and installing Nx on that? Scrapping (or maybe keeping) Windoze on its own partition?

From this article? http://www.howtogeek.com/187410/how-to- ... -on-a-mac/
"You’ll now need to resize your Mac OS X system partition to make room for your Linux distribution of choice." In my case that would be Nx!

Or am I way off base?

Ha ha, I just saw your post. I am NOT way off base! So I DON'T need Bill Gates after all!

Apparently not.

I didn't make it all the way through the video, it's that Mac aversion.

But it makes sense the requirement for Windows doesn't make sense.

What's the worst that could happen...you learn something.

Well so far the only advantage to having Windows would be that I would be able to run Maretron's N2KView program but seeing as how they expect me to pay for it, I won't likely be doing that. Not after all the crap I've been through with them.
But again, I digress.

One thing I am hoping to gain from Nx is that I will be able to view my new Maretron instruments output. I am definitely impressed with all that Nx has to offer.

Thanks very much for your input Moe.

No problem. Give us a 'hazza!' if/when you succeed.

Done! Gee that was easy

Cool.

It's nice when it's easy.

Now, done and donated. Thanks Navigatrix people!
