Man! Am I the only one with a 60GB drive in my powerbook? Of course, you didn't say powerbook.. but this leads to the question of: has anyone upgraded their internal PB (1.33 GHz) drive? On top of that.. google shows my drive [TOSHIBA MK6025GAS] as a 4200rpm drive.. aren't there 7200 rpm drives for this machine?? > I want to install Debian on the third partition... why is the installer > only allowing a whole HD partition? Installing Debian on the third partition would need a manual configuration of the parition table. You also need to make a 800K bootstrap partition (an option from the manual partitioner. In the end you will end up with an odd setup (I have 9 partitions and a little free space at the end -- Bootstrap is partition 8, and Debian is partition 9) -- Chadwick
