| 20:07.49 | magnetron | hi, how do i prepare a dual boot setup of Mac OSX and etch on a G4 ibook? what should i do before i install debian, in terms of partitions? |
| 20:08.04 | magnetron | sorry, i meant lenny, not etch |
| 20:08.31 | Bor_Ed | install osx and leave unpartitioned space for debian, install debian and have fun |
| 20:09.17 | magnetron | i read something about the yaboot partition, that it needs to be in the start of the partition table |
| 20:09.34 | mike_xcr | Installer install into your mashine yaboot and NewWorld bootloader - for dualboot |
| 20:09.43 | Bor_Ed | not that I recall of when I had dualboot |
| 20:10.25 | magnetron | what partitions will i need? the yaboot partition, a swap partition, / , what else? |
| 20:10.29 | mike_xcr | magnetron: You must create special partition ~100mb in Partition Manager (in Installer), and Use for: NewWorld |
| 20:10.58 | Bor_Ed | those 3 will do ok for a starter... possibly /home too |
| 20:12.15 | magnetron | if i go with LUKS / dm-crypt for root, do i need a separate /boot partition? |
| 20:12.45 | magnetron | mike_xcrâ is that the yaboot partition? |
| 20:13.43 | mike_xcr | yap |
| 20:13.55 | mike_xcr | NewWorld is for dualboot / yaboot |
| 20:14.14 | mike_xcr | forgot about grub or lilo ;P |
| 20:14.15 | pahartik | mike_xcr: Harddisk of my iBook G4 described on document at "http://pahartik.iki.fi/~pahartik/kiara-disktype" |
| 20:15.49 | magnetron | mike_xcrâ only 820k needed, not 100mb according to http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/powerpc/ch06s03.html#di-make-bootable |
| 20:15.59 | magnetron | pahartikâ thank you |
| 20:17.47 | mike_xcr | ok ok, i wrote about 100mb because it's my part table ;-) |
| 20:19.50 | magnetron | pahartikâ i'm surprised that you choose to have a 1 GB /home partition |
| 20:26.13 | pahartik | magnetron: Yes, it is slightly small... But I do not need much space for "/home/"... Lynx uses "/tmp/" for cache, Gnus uses remote IMAP and NNTP, video and audio content I copy to "/Shared/Video/" and "/Shared/Audio/" over NFS or "rsync" from DVB server or access it directly over NFS... |
| 20:27.52 | magnetron | i was thinking about encrypting my hard drive, can i have an encrypted swap but still preserve the "suspend-from-swap"-functionality? |
| 20:32.43 | pahartik | magnetron: I have not tried block device encryption... Both "suspend-to-RAM" and "suspend-to-disk" seem to be fairly stable nowadays... |
| 20:34.00 | magnetron | pahartikâ suspend-to-disk is generally prevented when using an encrypted swap, since there will be no way to boot from the swap until it's decrypted |
| 20:35.51 | magnetron | pahartikâ most people use random keys for swap, so decryption after reboot or suspend is typically impossible |
| 20:37.36 | pahartik | magnetron: Key needs to be stored somewhere while suspending... |
| 20:38.06 | magnetron | pahartikâ do you have any experience of file-based swap? |
| 20:41.24 | pahartik | magnetron: Only temporary use... On system with not enough RAM and swap for something specific, create swap file... |
