I don't know how many people like that many partitions on their HD (especially if it's <10 GIG). I'd repartition the drive to 1 partition using Apple's HD formatter (name escapes me). (1) Copy apps you want to leave on computer when you sell it over network to your Cube (cross-over ethernet cable = $5 US (don't know cvsion to Krone)). (2) Repartition drive to 1 partition (if they have the technical know-how needed to use partitions effectively they can re-partition the drive quite quickly). (3) Reinstall OS 8.6 + the G3 support software for your accelerator & let the new owner customise the computer. (4) Copy back any apps you want to give the new owner.
