My old iMac (1998) G3 seems to have the limit of the first 8 GB for installing
any operativesystem if we want it to be bootable.With Mac OS X it seems to be
true,we run intoproblems if the installation gets out of this limit.I have a
LinuxPPC distribution installed on one partition within my 4GB harddisk,so the8
GB limit does not apply.Now I am installing a new 80GB HardDisk and I want to
installFedoraPPC,OpenSusePPC,DebianLennyPPC on it.The problem is : Can Linux
surpass this 8GB limit and be installed on partitions out of this8GB limit,and
be bootable and run without problems? It seems a hardisk controller
limitationof these first iMac models.
