While that's very true, at the bottom of George's email was the
following signature:


Mac OS X 10.5.6
Mac Mini 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM

If that's correct, then he should be able to use diskutil to do the
dirty work. I've used gparted before on external disks to manipulate
HFS+ partitions, so it *might* work with George's disk. However, I'm
not sure if gparted can speaky GPT or not.

I believe the PowerPC partitioning scheme is known as Apple Partition
Map (or maybe Table?) I can remember playing with pdisk on my old
Starmax...
