I have found the fix of the year when it comes to OS
10.2.
You dont have to have 800 little hard drives cluttering up your desktop and you will have won the war over the 8GB partition issue that is so common among older macs.
No, I have *two* partitions.
I have a
30GB HDD and it is now one whole drive and not broken into 2 different drives.
Well, it'll be broken, sooner or later; the system may corrupt that drive irretrievably when it gets over 8GB full...and when you're that full you're probably hosed when it comes to backups, right?
My system (on a 30 gb drive) is set in two (not 800) partitions: one 7.95 gb, the other the rest of the drive.
The system partition contains the system and my applications.
I did this <http://www.bombich.com/mactips/homedir.html> and moved all the home directories to the larger partition, which means even with a tom of apps installed I still have 4 gb left on my system partition and lots of room for all my iTunes, iPhoto and other user files.
