Hi guys,
after some good time with Xubuntu I need to install Mac OS X Tiger back again on my G3 B&W... without touching Xubuntu [only shrinking its partition, _no erasing_]...
and that's where I've found some problems, having completely no experience on partitioning and multiple system on a single HD.
::doubts::
1.
How can I make a good HFS+ partition for Mac OS with Xubuntu?
Should I use pmac-fdisk? or GParted? how... from the live cd?
2.
Can I make the partition from the Mac OS X installation CD with Disk Utility?
[although I know Disk Utility on Tiger won't do live partitioning...]
3.
How to part/install without mess with my Xubuntu partitions?
4.
How to make the double boot? [with linux as default os]
See, to make this [rather simple] story short::
I need to install Tiger without touching _anything_ about Xubuntu...
My main partition is /dev/hdc3 228.0 GiB with 206.7 free
[command~$ sudo pmac-fdisk /dev/hdc prints:]
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30401.
This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software form other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
[the -p option:]
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
so... here I am, waiting for something interesting...
Thanks guys.
