I wanted to install Ubuntu on a Fw enclosure HD. It's a G3 400mhz 384
mb ram . I put Tiger on its own new internal Hd and it runs pretty
good. I do not want to put Ubuntu on the Tiger drive so I bought a
used 20gb drive to play around with in the FW enclosure.So far I have
erased the old drive using the disk utility. There is still about 19
mb left on the 20 gb drive. What is that? I was thinking it was the
boot sector or something. YOU CAN NOT READ IT IN THE FINDER.
Maybe I should save myself a lot of trouble and put the old 20 gb
internally and install Ubuntu that way. Then remove it and use it
in the FW drive.
I wanted to have 2 root partitions, 1 swap and 1/home
partition.Should I make it root1-swap2-root3-home4. Do I have to make
boot partitions or will the installer do that if I just create the 4
other partitions?
Are there any problems getting the PPC Fw to boot . Should I use
Dapper or the newer one? It's actually quite easy to exchange the
internal Hd on a slot loading imac. I did it in 20-30 minutes and I
had never taken an imac apart before. HAPPY NEW YEAR
