installing on PPC -> partitions

[Justin Kelly]

hi enrike

on PPC there is no partition magic kind of thing thats free(or to my
knowledge anyway)

to install ubuntu your going to have to back up all your data on the powerbook, 
then the easiest way to partition is to use the OS9 restore CD and use
the Disk Setup tool thing and create 2-3 partition depending if you
want linux+os9+osx or just linux+osx, make the mac partition(s) HFS
extended and make the last partition linux format(as per the tool
setup), then reintstall your mac os(es) on there correct partition(s)
and then install ubuntu on the last partition

have fun
