polemicz Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 A friend was recently given an IMac and wnats to try to dual boot with Linux. Is there anything particular he has to do with partitioning, ie.e is there a partition tool for mac partitions on the PPC version of 9.1? Has anyone tried 9.1 on a Mac and can give some feedback on how it installs. I did read the review from distrowatch from a beta install, but from my own beta installs of 9.1 I know that the installation is vastly smoother in the final version. Thanks in advance.

ezroller Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 only thing i know is make damn sure you leave those first 4 tiny partitions alone. he'll see what i mean when he gets to the partitioning step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I recently did an install of Mac OS X on a G3. It has a partitioning tool. Usually with pre OS X, you boot off the CD and use a disk tool to do your partitioning. I've made several partitions but have never installed linux... I would go find a mac forum for this question.. Here's a few that I used.. http://www.macnet2.com/phpBB/index.php http://forums.osxfaq.com/index.php :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
