Just to beat a dead horse: EACH partition needs to be APM that you want to boot a PPC from. Also, make sure you update that system to the latest version. Some older versions of Tiger will not boot some Macs. I'm not exactly sure which (except for Intels, of course), but that may also be a possibility for you. You can always create more partitions for more machines to boot from; GUID for the Intel partitions and APM for PPC. Go crazy. ;;-) j. -- Jonathan Fletcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project Foreman NewMedia Construction Co. _______________________________________________ The next Louisville Computer Society meeting will be February 26 at MacAuthority, 128 Breckinridge Lane.
