Rev A iMac and external USB drive boxes...

[Greville Whittle]

As you can see I have a Rev A iMac and have just got it set up 
exactly as I want after installing Jag. Now I want to fool around 
with some other OS configurations and partition schemes without 
having to re-configure wehn I'm done. I'm planning on using carbon 
copy cloner to copy my existing OSX partition to an external disk so 
I can copy it back as needed.

What I'd like to know is whether or not you can boot off an external 
drive? If so do the bootable partitions have to exist inside the 
first 8 gigabyes of the drive? I won't be heartbroken if the answer 
to the first question is no, it will however change my plans 
slightly. :)

Oops nearly forgot, are there any "gotcha's" when partitioning drives 
under OS X, like minmum sizes etc?

Thanks,
Greville
