Hi Dave:
Here is a link to a TSS page which you really do want to read before
going any farther:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/installation/
guide2.2.shtml#install
Red Hat is useful sometimes but remember they couldn't care less about
OS 9 or other non-PC partitioning schemes so the likely hood of you
finding anything other than references to detailed applications in
Linux is really, really remote. In other words, you are in a Apple
PowerPC universe and those are the only references which are going to
be helpful. If you wish to learn about details regarding creating
mount points within Linux and so on that is fine to use Red Hat but
they will not tell you what a MacOS partition looks like within Linux
using any application like pdisk or parted (partition editor). The
page I found, created by TSS the makers of YDL, will! That's what you
need.
Attention: Although the page refers to YDL 2.2, the partitioning and
mount point instructions are consistent across all versions of YDL for
Macs. This will continue until Apple finally actually switches to
Intell and then everyone must consider to either stay with PowerPC
systems and move up to Genesi/Pegasos hardware or follow Apple or just
throw up one's hands and use PCs or Sun's or whatever else is out
there. May a HAL 2000 anyone? :-)
Oh yes... I forgot. After Apple switches to Intel, then maybe Red Hat
may show an interest in serving the users of the New Intel based Macs
who also want to use Linux.
That however will be a different list, probably not this one.
Best wishes...

Thanks Derick for the quick response. It helped. From now on I will
only do this critical setup manually. More questions. I understand
that the untitled spaces are linux partitions that OS X does not
recognize. Initially when I tried to manually input the partition
info I was asked for a mount point. The manual partitioning would not
continue unless I fill this in. Page 5 of the "A Companion to Install
YDL" does not tell you what to do. I want to make sure I use up all
of the free space and also put the linux partitions in front of the OS
X and OS 9 partitions. Any explaination on how to control the spot
on the hard drive where the partitions reside? Thanks for any advice.
I found some disk druid tutorials on the net which are geared to Red
Hat, I will study them to see if I can figure this out more. Thanks
again.
Dave
