[newbie] Mandrake PPC question

2002-05-28 Thread okamoto

Hello all,

I'm considering either Mandrake 8.2 or YDL 2.2, and am hoping someone here
can help with some questions.

On YDL's web site, they suggest placing Linux and Mac OS 9 on separate disks,
and making the drive with YDL the master on the IDE bus.

Is this also recommended for Mandrake?

Also, although I can access the Mac drives from Linux, is the reverse true?
If I'm booted in OS 9, can I access the Linux partition(s)?

Thanks much,
Jeff

This is no longer a requirement for either Yellow Dog or Mandrake.

I don't believe mac os can see GNU/Linux partitions, and GNU/Linux can
view HFS partitions and HFS+ partition support I believe is still
experimental. YMMV


 Thanks much,
