pretty sure os x has to be with in the first 8gig. also, are you planning on keeping os 9 apps with 9 and os x apps with x? if so, your probably ok...
however, this is what i'd suggest: 6gig for os x (this should give you around 3gig of space even with all the apple iapps - should be enough for x's vm management etc.) 1gig for os 9 (even fully loaded, my os 9 comes in at 600mb (you can skim this even lower) and it doesn't need to much expansion space). 3gig for applications (should be plenty of room for all osx and 9 apps (except osx iapps) - can make bigger if you need it) this leaves you with 110gig to play with! i would suggest carving out 4 scratch disks for photoshop/video and music apps - maybe at around 5/10gig each depending on usage. use the rest for your working files. hope this helps (just my 2p's worth!) jake On 13/8/03 2:54 pm, "Larry Blodgett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a friend with fairly new G4 and I know it will boot both > MacOS9 and MacOSX.
