Brand New Empty Mac

[John Horner]

This is a not-strictly-Perl thing again, but I'm just about to 
inherit a G4 desktop from up the food chain at work, and it's been so 
comprehensively messed about with that I'm going to low-level-format 
the HD completely and start from scratch.

Apart from anything else, this will mean I can install Panther and 
only Panther and I won't have any of those 'which perl' issues or 
multiple copies of modules.

But I just thought I'd get the opinions of the list on the best way 
to set up such a brand-new machine -- do you partition your 
hard-drives? Do you have the system on one partition and documents on 
another and so on? Any issues around the installation of Perl and 
other things like C libraries that I should be thinking about?
