The classic Mac OS doesn't care how big a partition it's installed on, as long as it's big enough. My recommendation: one 8 GB partition for OS 9 and X, the remaining space for everything else. Hope you're getting one of the fast 5400 rpm drives with a big cache. Just put a 20 megger in my TiBook with 8 MB cache -- it really rocks compared with the original 10 GB drive. The faster drive almost makes some things (such as scrolling through Claris Emailer digests) too fast, a complaint I've never had with any Mac.... -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
