Hi John.

I will be running OS X on a 7300, I already have downloaded Xpostfacto.

So I have to have two partitions on my primary harddrive to install OS X?  I
have a 18 gig SCSI internal drive that I will be using and it is only a
single partition.

So here is the question.

When I install OS X will my 7300 when powered up boot directly into OS X or
is there something that I will have to do to get it to boot into OS X?  As
with two partitions and from what I understand from your email OS 9.1 will
be on one partition and OS X will be on the other so how does the system
know which OS to boot into?
