Thanks Ben and Bob, So if I were going to start from scratch and set up multiple partitions, would the install of OS X still be pretty straightforward? I mean, using XPostFacto to run the install, will it give me the option of choosing a partition, or does it only install OS X to the partition

For use as a primary machine, 4GB is certainly insufficient. But, for use as a secondary machine for word processing, web browsing, etc., 4GB is more than adequate. As I noted, after you install minimal operating systems and only the necessary applications, *and* leave room for swap, there

As far as I can tell, there are no 20GB 2.5 IDE drives around for that little. Unfortunately, they're still very expensive compared to their desktop counterparts. The thing you need to remember when upgrading the Wallstreet's drive is that it can't use ATA-6 devices (that's Ultra-ATA/100; I've

There are 2 drives on that site that will definitely work with the Wallstreet -- a 20GB 4200RPM Toshiba for $72, and a 40GB 4200RPM Hitachi for $129. The Toshiba drive doesn't seem to be rated too highly, though. Cheers, Ben On 28 Oct 2004, at 00:30, John C. Swanson wrote: I just bought new
