| 02:51.55 | aalex | Hi all |
| 02:52.09 | aalex | Are all the mac-garbage partitions important to keep ? |
| 02:52.24 | aalex | (on a colourful macbook G3) |
| 02:52.57 | aalex | I installed Debian single boot, but my / partition is too small.... so I maybe want to use resize2fs |
| 02:53.01 | aalex | is this a good idea ? |
| 03:08.11 | aalex | can i just erase all the mac partitions garbage ? |
| 03:08.23 | aalex | simonrvn: any idea ? |
| 03:08.36 | aalex | simonrvn: hey, you at la sat, right ? |
| 03:09.24 | simonrvn | no, some are useful. like the partition map, and the apple_bootstrap one ;) |
| 03:09.32 | simonrvn | right now? no |
| 03:09.41 | simonrvn | la sat in montreal, on st-laurent? |
| 03:09.48 | aalex | ok, but you use to , pour les serveurs web |
| 03:09.51 | aalex | oui |
| 03:09.53 | pahartik | aalex: define "colourful macbook G3"? |
| 03:10.10 | aalex | pahartik: hem... a 3000 Mhz iBook G3 |
| 03:10.18 | aalex | not a macbook, right |
| 03:10.19 | simonrvn | clamshell |
| 03:10.28 | aalex | right |
| 03:10.35 | simonrvn | no, ibook |
| 03:10.54 | pahartik | aalex: I was just wondering why you would call it "macbook" |
| 03:11.05 | aalex | it is a new habit.... |
| 03:11.17 | aalex | a *book, let say |
| 03:11.19 | simonrvn | i've been to la sat though. we've drummed there once, and had that event earlier this summer |
| 03:11.28 | aalex | cool |
| 03:12.01 | simonrvn | when we drummed there we were called NFCM drum |
| 03:12.09 | aalex | My debian installer says it cannot setup a ext2 home partition on hda8 |
| 03:12.22 | simonrvn | why not? |
| 03:12.25 | aalex | so, i guess i will have to get into that lvm thing |
| 03:12.32 | aalex | oups |
| 03:12.33 | aalex | etx3 |
| 03:12.40 | aalex | not 2 |
| 03:13.13 | aalex | i erase the HD main partition and put : swap, boot, root, home |
| 03:13.29 | aalex | but it says that. dunno why |
| 03:13.36 | simonrvn | on that thing you don't need separate boot |
| 03:14.03 | aalex | maybe i will just make a root partition (no separate home) |
| 03:14.06 | aalex | no? |
| 03:14.21 | aalex | so, what is that new world boot partition ? |
| 03:14.31 | aalex | the installer asked me to setup one |
| 03:14.40 | aalex | at least 1 Mb, right ? |
| 03:14.55 | simonrvn | you need it |
| 03:15.03 | aalex | i guess yaboot (or grub) needs to be somewhere.... |
| 03:15.08 | simonrvn | yaboot |
| 03:15.15 | pahartik | aalex: it contains HFS with "yaboot" |
| 03:15.16 | aalex | yeah, so, swap, boot, root, home |
| 03:15.21 | aalex | ok |
| 03:15.53 | aalex | oh, typo : a 300 Mhz iBook, not 3000 !!! |
| 03:16.38 | pahartik | aalex: 800 KiB is enough for Apple_Bootstrap, at least on my iBook G4 |
| 03:16.42 | aalex | should i leave some space at the end of the disk ? |
| 03:17.29 | aalex | is 8 partitions too much ? |
| 03:17.46 | aalex | i am not good at that primary/LVM partition type tyhing |
| 03:17.48 | aalex | thing |
| 03:17.58 | aalex | actually, i never really understood that |
| 03:20.49 | pahartik | aalex: it is easier to move things around if you have got free space outside filesystems on harddisk... if you think that is needed |
| 03:23.11 | Danamania | aalex: I ended up with something like 14 partitions on my iMac - an os9 one, osx, debian - and a few little extras that probably came about from it not being partitioned from scratch in years - it works well regardless. |
| 03:23.15 | pahartik | aalex: if you install few times, you will know more |
| 03:23.40 | aalex | i guess |
| 03:24.05 | aalex | ok, i will put both home and root on the same partition |
| 03:24.08 | simonrvn | gott start somewhere |
| 03:24.09 | simonrvn | a |
| 03:24.13 | aalex | no separate home |
| 03:24.36 | aalex | yeah, i am quite a good user, but installing is something in itself |
| 03:24.52 | aalex | i should do an other install fest |

| 03:25.11 | aalex | Danamania: good to know |
| 03:27.30 | Danamania | oooh. a nice man just came to the door and gave me a G4 tower. |
| 03:30.47 | simonrvn | ooh |
| 03:30.50 | simonrvn | nice |
| 03:31.37 | aalex | My error is : failed to mount /dev/hda8 on /home |
| 03:31.46 | aalex | woah !!! |
| 03:32.56 | pahartik | aalex: partition does not exist, filesystem is not present or filesystem is not supported... |
| 03:35.03 | Danamania | ahh. pleasure is buying a PCI G4 on eBay and getting an AGP one delivered. |
| 03:35.40 | aalex | pahartik: on the installer ? |
| 03:36.08 | pahartik | aalex: supposedly |
| 03:36.16 | aalex | would Gnome be too slow on a 300 Mhz, 200 Mb Ram G3 ? |
| 03:36.55 | aalex | pahartik: anyways, i chose to setup only one partition and it seems to work now. thanks for support :) |
