<< < (2/3) > >>

rtgwbmsr:
Some of the basic commands work differently...and it uses a different file system (HFS+ vs Whatever UNIX uses.)

voidmain:
Yeah, I don't believe Darwin is for me:

TheQuirk:
VoidMain, I talked to a guy who uses Mac OS X and he told me you can create an /etc/fstab and it will obey it.

hm_murdock:
the problem isn't that it can't be outside of 8GB...

I quote LowEndMac:

If you have a hard drive over 8 GB in size <i>and</i> have more than one partition on it, the partition containing OS X <b>must</b> be within the first 8 GB of space or you will not be able to run OS X.

So... if you've got a large drive and it's one partition, there's no problem.

that's on...

iMac 233-333 (tray-loading), Power Macintosh G3 233-333 (Beige and All-in-one), PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet/MainStreet/PDQ 233, 250, 292MHz), G3 Series II (Wallstreet/PDQ 233, 266, 300MHz)

rtgwbmsr:
OS X wouldn't let me install on 1 18.something gig partition.
