I might want to get in on this multi-OS thing. I should have my new QS here on Friday and will begin setting it up. My primary OS will be X 10.3. But I like the idea of having a seperate, small partition, just to boot up on to repair stuff if needed.
#1) What do you guys recommend for which OS to install on the other partition? Does it need to be an older version or can I install X 10.3 on both? #2) Is there some special software I need to manage these multiple OS's to select which one I boot from and to get them setup and configured? The repair capability is really the only functionality I'm looking for, so it will be a very small partition, just large enough to hold whatever OS I'm going to install on it. #3) Do I need to install one OS before the other? I've never partitioned a drive for a Mac, so this will be all new to me, although I've done it eleventy-billion times on PCs. #4) Which partition do I put the primary OS on? The first partition created right? I mean I know the different partition types in PC's, but not on MAC, are there several different types of partition types (Primary DOS, extended DOS, logical dos drive, etc.) that can be created like on a PC, or only one type (much simpler)?
