You may be able to install on a larger partition, but once you start getting information written to parts of the disk past the 8G point you will start having problems.
HTH, Len --- end of quote --- Beiges have no restriction on scsi drives if I remember correctly. Any ide drive on most ata pci cards are seen as scsi by the system and the first 8 gig restriction does not apply. I sold my Beige about 6 months ago but I had four drives on that Beige on an ATA card, and several X operating systems. No problem. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
