I am just looking for any 'heads up' you can give me. I have installed 10.1 on a pc with no problems at all, they were all great installs but I seem to value my mac much more than any windows pc(sorry, just being honest) I was hoping you could tell me if suse 10.1 installs as easy on the mac.
The partitioner allows you to use the whole drive, just select /dev/sdb instead of 'Custom partition setup for experts...' I currently dont know how it handles an uninitialized drive without partition table, just use the OSX tool to initialize the second drive.
I just tried it, using an uninitialized drive or a drive with an empty partition map is not handled correctly. Sorry for that...

Ok, this brings up a question. Is the partitioning tool in SuSE still not working as it should for an empty drive? You are saying here, if a drive has not been formatted before or wiped of any format, special things have to be done to get the partitioning tool to handle it? Is this the case no matter what the computer, Mac or Pegasus? I am confused with some of this, haven't tried it yet, so no experience with how things are handled. If I have a Mac and want to wipe everything from the hard drive to install SuSE, can that be done with the partitioning tool as with the i386? I understand, I think, that if you want to do a dual boot, you have to resize with some Mac tool, before installing Linux, because the SuSE tool will not resize as it does with Windows drives? If not, will these be fixed? Sorry, if these sound like elementary questions, but I thought I understood the procedure during the 10.0 release for the PPC, but I'm not sure I do now. thanks, Lee
