Understood, but being in a hurry to play with my new toy, I shrunk the OS X partition. I do plan on reinstalling OS X and starting from scratch. I'm still learning and figured that I'd play with it this way, install some different Linux distros, and start over once I figure out what I'm doing. :-) > Make sure that you > create one or two or three partitions before the OS X partition so > that you can install however many Linuxes as you wish.

Yeah, I split my 80GB in half when I shrank it, for lack of any better knowledge. > The other partitions should generally be at least 4 GB to keep from > running out of room too quickly (though, you probably already know > that ;-). Yup, thanks! :-) - BS _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
