OS X on a 4GB partition?
Is that enough?
It would be highly advised to set the *users* home path to the third
or
larger partition and same when installing third party applications.
Actually sounds sweet.
I've heard this before, any idea how one can do this?
But if you are forced to a small Jaguar partition, you may want to
move your
home-folder to a different place. If you know what you are doing, it is
quite easy to do using Netinfo manager, but you certainly must have
some
grasp of what you are doing. I would not recommend it to
non-power-users,
and even to those who are not familiar with the Netinfo Manager and/or
complex file systems, I would hesitate to recommend it to.
Done that anyways. Don't want most users on the root partition. At
first I accomplished this using symbolic links, then saw a posting by
Jeremy Derr (thanks dude) saying it was possible to do this Netinfo.
Didn't take more than a few seconds to figure it out from there... and
learned to pay much more attention to Netinfo and stop trying to be a
wise unix@ss. Only the homes for root and first defined user
admin-group account are on the first partition. All the other accounts
-- including mine (admin-group member) -- are on the second partition.
A different approach is to have a second Application folder on the
other
partition, where you can install all non-Apple-applications. That
helps keep
my system tidy too.
Done that too. All non-apple apps are in a apps directory on the second
parition -- one for os x and one for os 9. But some of them pesky OS 9
apps don't give you the option to selecting disks/folders and you gotta
move 'em manually.
Just my .02 �
Definitely a valuable 2 cents.
