if you want macos, then you do need to first partition with the macos partitioner but you must create the placeholder partition for linux at the BEGINNING of the disk *NOT* the end. otherwise you can't put the bootstrap partition first and i get craploads of mail about how to fiddle with OF. always always put the bootstrap partition BEFORE any macos partitions, READ THIS DOC: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt http://penguinppc.org/usr/ybin/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.shtml -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
