Hello all!
Tried installing SuSE10 (from the ISO's at gwdg.de) But it fails on the partitoning. It used to be a OsX on it, but the company i got it from had erased it. So i booted it up on the first CD, and told it to erase all partitions and use the whole disk for linux.
It crashed yelling about not being able to create partition. I rebooted into rescue mode and ran fdisk
" There is a valid Mac label on this disk. Unfortunately Linux cannot handle these disks at the moment. Nevertheless some advice: 1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write 2. Be sure that this disk in NOT a still vital part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may erase the other disks as well. if unmirrored)"
Google suggests mac-fdisk. But the cd doesnt seem to have that.
Bug or feature? How do i proceed? ======= rikard, Better asked on the suse-ppc list as there are several knowledgeable Mac users there. I'm sure one or more can offer help on this problem.
