Weird-oh-rama, Santa...the install of MacOS X Panther that Wegener Media did when they upgraded my hard drive was to a single 30GB (actually 27GB) partition. The install seemed to work out fine and everything is swell. Perhaps there is a hidden /boot partition at the beginning of the HD? You used to do this routinely with Linux with lots of old machines. The venerable Intel BX chipset required a 8GB> partition for the boot OS. This applies to Windoze too. IDE bug. Hopefully my install will be on the HD for a long time to come, and I won't have to reinstall. I do have to install some extra stuff from the disks, like dev tools and "BSD tools." Hopefully this issue won't raise its ugly head then. I also updated my install to 10.3.9...will installing these "extras" be a problem now? I'm new to X so expect newless cluebee questions for me on the list for a while...apologies in advance...
