Hi, I guess most of us did reinstall MacOS-X (with a smaller partition) or erase it. However there are some patches to parted to resize hfs+ partitions : check http://xilun.nerim.net/Projet/Parted/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16.tar.bz2 Try to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] before any attempt and DO backups (as it is risky). Installation on an external firewire disk might be safer. It's a bit tricky but I did it and run Gentoo without problems. Search in the forums and ring me a bell if you don't manage to get it working. Regards, SL/ -- [email protected] mailing list
