i didn't check this, but most of linuxppc.org is a recursive copy of penguinppc.org, try http://penguinppc.org/usr/bootx.shtml > The user guide covers, in reasonable depth, partitioning, getting > bootx working (what all the options mean) and everything right up to > the actual installation of Linux is mostly identical between > Debian/LinuxPPC. try http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.shtml (also at http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt) for a partitioning guide. it explains how to use mac-fdisk. note that its a tad biased to newworlds in the mentions of bootstrap partitions, i recommend creating a bootstrap partition as documented since it will allow you to move the disk to a newworld box and make it bootable if you ever needed to (bootx doesn't work on newworlds). but as long as the disk is in an oldworld you can just ignore the bootstrap partition. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
