Hey folks. I'm pleased to report that I was finally able to get the
funds together for an iBook to save my sanity while recovering from a
rather intense spinal fusion surgery in January.
Before I repartition and reformat this three hour old iBook, I wanted
to try and get some confirmation (and maybe some experienced advice)
that I'm doing everything correctly.
It looks as though I need to blow away the single existing (~30Gb) OSX
partition and split up the drive. Something like this?
/dev/hda1 ~820Kb Apple_Bootstrap
/dev/hda2 ~20Gb HFS+ partition for OSX
/dev/hda3 ~512Mb SWAP (I only have 256Mb of RAM now, but hope to add 512Mb more)
/dev/hda4 [remaining space] ext3 for Ubuntu
It sounds like the Ubuntu *should* find my OSX installation (which
I'll do before the Ubuntu install) and set up yaboot all by itself.
Are there any issues I may run in to?
I can't wait to be a multi-platform Ubuntu user! :o)
Thanks!
