Good day to all, I am an absolute novice (5 days old) in Linux, with some years of experience with Mac OS. I am trying to install a Linux distro in an unproductive G3 Powerbook (New World Macs)
Here's what i have done:. Using Mac OS Disk Utility partition my 12 GB harddrive to 2 partitions, both approx 5.5gb (Mac OS extended) Upon booting with debian cd set (cd 1 Debian 3.0 30r4 PPC-binary), things went smoothly, only when i arrived at the partitioning (with 'mac-fdisk') part, I can't seemed to proceed further. Here's the problem: cmd c - create new LINUX partition First Block: 10p (targeted to the partition number i have allocated for the installation for Debian) Length : 10p (to indicate use of the entire partition) and when it comes to 'Name of partition', whatever names i try to give, single word or string with quotes, it just prompted: "requested base and length is not within an existing free partition" I must have missed something somewhere, can anyone help with my problems? thanks pharme
