Eric,

Please post all relevant info about your triple boot scheme, including the config file and the boot order. Can the yaboot loader accommodate a quadruple boot scheme as well?

I partitioned my iMac G5 into 5 physical partitions when I first got it 6 months ago, with Mac OS X on the first partition. All of them were formatted as HFS+ (which is not the proper formatting for Linux, evidently) but the last 4 partitions were left blank, leaving partition #2 for MP3 music downloads, partition #3 for YDL, partition #4 for Ubuntu for PPC and partition #5 as a spare.

Is this workable? Do I have to back-up and then re-format the entire HD and re-install Mac OS X again?

All the best,

John

what partions he used but mine are different.

take care,
