Andrew, in my opinion, go ahead and upgrade 9 all the way. If for nothing else than just bug fixes. > Second question: > I've always like the idea of separate partitions for the OS and for > data > so that you could format the OS partition and do a clean install > without > touching your data. > Does this make sense with my wallstreet? > If yes how do I do it? According to your message your Wallstreet has a 4 gb drive, I wouldn't partition it with that small a drive. That's my opinion... Drives, even laptop drives, are getting cheaper by the day. If you have the funds, look for a good deal after xmas, and upgrade your drive. With a larger drive, you have the option of doing what you're talking about. I'm sure it's possible with a 4 gb drive, I just don't see a point to doing it. If you do get a larger drive, then I would partition it with the primary being at least 8 gig, in case you want to upgrade to X later. Erick -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
