It's not working because there is a 2nd partition immediately after the first, so I have the MacOSX system partition in the first 7.5GB, then a MacOSX Data partition in the next 7.5GB, and THEN the MandrakePPC bootstrap following that (with the remaining Mandrake partitions after the bootstrap)... so the bootstrap is well outside the first 8GB... So I think I'll try removing only the OSX Data partition, then adding the Mandrake bootstrap and go from there to see what happens... Don't know when I'll have time to go at it, but I'll let y'all know. Might be worth a footnote in the documentation... Damon
