my setup:
blueberry iMac 350mhz
40gig harddrive
256meg memory
i installed OS X first (i want to dual boot) i partitioned the
drive in the OS X setup, one small partition for bootstrap, one
512meg partition for swap, around 18gigs for the linux install
and the last partition was 20gigs for OS X, (that was the last
partition)
when i boot the livecd and run mac-fdisk, and print the
partition table i get this:
/dev/hda
# type name length
base ( size ) system
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @

78175664 ( 7.5k) Free space
Block size=512, Number of Blocks=78175679
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
there are 10 partitions!! where did the extra ones come from? im
kinda confused as to where to go at this point the fdisk program
in general isnt the most user friendly, (partitioning by blocks
not size?) how can i get this back to what i originally had in
the OS X setup?
thanks
