I am a Gentoo and PPC Newbie. I have been running Debian on x86 machines
for several years.
I have an M5343 PowerBook I picked up on eBay.
It came with Mac OS X installed on a 30GB HD, the HD is mostly empty.
It did not come with OS X CD's.
I have installed Gentoo on a 15GB HD I had lying arround.
To move between Mac OS X and Gentoo I have to swap HD's
I am looking to try to get Gentoo and OS X onto the 30GB HD.
I know I can just backup the Linux files onto another system and copy
them back to a new partition once I have one ready.
Is it possible to do the same with an OS X partition ?
Can I backup an OS X hfs partition to another hfs partition under Linux
without loosing any information ?
Can I resize an OS X hfs partition ? Can I do it under Linux ?
If I backup the OS X hfs partition to another hfs partition somewhere,
and then later copy it back to a smaller partition. do I need to do
anything secial - besides properly setting up yaboot.conf to make the
new hfs partiton bootable ?
I know all about how to do all of the above for x86's and NTFS, and all
the tricks. I bought the PowerBook to learn more about Mac's.l So I
guess this is learning.
