Newer machines do not have this limitation, it is not a HFS+ filesystem issue. Any 'unsupported' machine will have this limitation, as do the 1st gen iMacs. I believe any machine newer than a 1st gen iMac does not have the limitation. My 600 MHz iMac (at home) has a 12 GB OS X partition after a 10 GB OS 9 partition. My 9600 at work has a 4 GB drive with OS X. (By the way, there is a difference between HFS and HFS+, I assume because we are on a OS X list, you mean HFS+, not the older, OS 6, OS 7, & OS 8 compatitble HFS) -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
