Non-destructive Partition tool for the Mac
steal...@hotmail.com
the intel world).
This is what I want to do....
Create a new partition out of my free space and install linuxPPC.
I have installed RedHat many times on a Intel Based machine and Redhat comes
with the FIPS tool that allows you to non-destructivly add partitions to your
system.
Is there such a tool for the Mac??
Note. We are renting the powerbook and it did not come with the System CD.
Thanks,
Mark Wendlandt

You sound like a prime candidate for LinuxPPC Live
<http://www.linuxppc.com/products/Live/>. It allows you to install Linux into a
disk image file without changing the partitions on your boot disk.

Just about any tool should allow this, including pdisk (the standard
LinuxPPC/MkLinux partitioning tool).

I can't get Linux Live to boot on my StarMax 4000. Tried all the obvious
problems. Made sure I ftp it down in binary. When BootX starts the Linux
boot it tells me it can't find the live filesystem. I ungzipped it and
renamed it "live.fileystem" Any suggestions??

try taking it out of the LinuxPPC folder and putting it in the top
level of the system folder.

The new G3 powerbooks come preformatted HFS+ though.. =o/ I had to backup to
jazz... re-initialize and repartition my internal HD.

even start was to copy the LinuxPPC folder to my internal SCSI disk. It
would not load from the StarMax's internal IDE drive. But I too am still
having problems, it appears the Linux desktop begins to load but the cursor
just stays an X with no icons on the desktop....

It's at least marginally on topic, if it works. Myself I'm going even
smaller, if only cos PPCs rule my life at present and anything's got to
be better ;-)
