Why do you have to use the Apple Drive setup ? I used pdisk and it works. The only problem IMHO is that you have to know all the partition types by heart to use pdisk (why can't it have this info builtin ?). Schlomo On Thu, 29 Nov 2001, Rolf Schmidt wrote:

Hi, everybody.
Since I'm missing some useful software for MacOS 9 or X I decide to use SuSE 7.3 LINUX on my new iBook (bought two months ago) additionally.
I just found one comment on SUSE's homepage that everything should work fine, that's all...
Does anyone have any experience in installing and using LINUX, on this iBook? Are there any known problems, non-supported hardware (I've got an iBook 600 DVD/CD with 384 MB RAM)?
As we don't have it, we couldn't test it. :(
And what about removing MacOS completely from the harddisk and using LINUX instead of it?
You should at least keep one HFS Partition (approx 30 MB) and you have to format the Harddrive with the Drive Setup from MacOS. Otherwise booting into linux would be a little bit tricky ;)
