Re: [MacPerl-Forum] MacPerl Forum - partitioning hard drive forMacOS & linuxppc

Elton,

I found some discrpancies between the instructions from linuxppc and the
instructions from LDP (Linux Documentation Project.)  Although I'm still
waiting for my discs to arrive, I've been previewing the mailing lists and
the pdf files and have already repartitioned.  I went with the partitions
suggested by ldp; I think it was a total of six or so.  Lots of options is
the big point I get from reading around.  I've split all my linux space
between 3gig; left myself the other three for macos.
