Can I have SuSE 7.3 coexist with the current MacOSes on a WallStreet II? It's an "Old World" powerbook, so I can't use a yaboot-based bootloader. Would BootX 1.2.2 work? Or is there something else SuSE installer does? Also: Mac X needs to be in the first 8 gig of any drive on this powerbook. Is the same true of linux? If I can have all three, is there an enforced order -- on a 48 gig drive? I am considering getting a new IBM travelstar 48 gig drive, and 512 meg RAM as 2 new Trans Intl low-profile memory modules. Then partition the HD with Apple's utility into HFS+ partitions for the Mac OSes, maybe add swap for MacOs X, and a "safe" HFS partion for moving stuff between SuSE and MacOSes. Then I plan to leave the rest for unix to partition and for data. And then put SuSE on it using the SuSE .hqx installer over ftp. The (old?) article about BootX in SuSE the Software Database says I can't use BootX with Mac Os > 9.0.0, but after 9.2.2 was released a MacSlash user referenced in passing using BootX, this October. Still, BootX has not changed since April 2000 -- version 1.2.2. The only triple boot article in SDB seems to be in terms of yaboot changes, and features putting MacOs on UFS, not HFS+. I'd rather keep it on HFS+ for desktop transparency between the two two Macs. I hope the support in the linux kernel will happen eventaully for HFS+. I am most worried about stable and hfs-noncorrupting bootloading on this ROM-firmware machine. Finally, I am curious about the 2001 Sonnet Crescendo 500 MHz G3/WS CPU upgrade for this powerbook, for the triple boot config I mention. -- Marek -- ------------------- http://www.enteract.com/~marek/ ------------------- 1 Clickable geomap Magical Mystery Tour last add Kristie's postcard 2 HalinaFAQ (now also po polsku) Halina Poswiatowska Translation Project 3 A Small Garlic Press (ASGP) A 501c3 Nonprofit Corp $2/chapbook poetry
