Mac Boot Camp book already on shelf

By John Fontana, NetworkWorld.com, 04/14/06

It’s just a mere beta utility, but there is already a book on how to turn your Mac into a dual-booting powerhouse.

O'Reilly Media has published "Running Boot Camp" by Chuck Toporek, an author and senior editor with O'Reilly Media. O’Reilly boasts the book is the first step-by-step install guide for the Boot Camp utility that helps users install and run Windows XP and Mac OS X on the same machine.
O’Reilly says, “While the install of Boot Camp is relatively painless, there are pitfalls users need to avoid.” And for $7.99 they propose to be your guide.
The book is initially available only on the virtual bookshelves of O’Reilly (so no animal cover, although the PDF includes some creature most children will swear they’ve seen under their beds at night). The PDF download walks users through what they need, updating firmware, running Boot Camp, installing Windows XP, troubleshooting tips and other potential mine fields.
While we haven’t heard a corporate stampede toward the utility, gamers are said to be thrilled that their selection of potential game titles will balloon just prior to their upcoming summer hibernations.
