Thanks, Larry. Guess I forgot a few details. I did set the 40GB as master. I think there's also an autoselect setting that I may try if nothing else works. I have zapped the PRAM and reset the cuda (Apple's advice).
My partitioning was something like this: 7.95 OSX 5 OS9 19.3 storage (I'll probably mount home here) 5 free (for Linux or BSD or something) .25 swap Seems that I can have a maximum of 8 partitions, and since I'm planning on 4 in the free area, there I am. The problem with the OS X tool was that it kept resizing partitions 1-7 when I would try to resize 8, etc, and it didn't seem to allow partitions smaller than about 3GB (my swap part). I ended up doing the partitioning by booting off my original system CD (8.1) to use Drive Setup. All the tools seem to combine adjacent free space though. :( I could probably make them HFS+ format and change that during *nix installation or with pdisk. I've had a couple messages now that say install OS 9 first and then OS X. Maybe that's the answer? I will also try making the OS X part a bit smaller and removing unneeded languages during the Jag install. Tim -- Tim Larson <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< OL 4-131-2 Info.
