| 10:23.18 | kruemeltee | hello everybody :-) |
| 10:24.37 | kruemeltee | I need some help to transfer a complete OSX installation from one disk to another ... there are several partitions (Apple_partition_map, Apple_Driver43, etc.) ... do I need every Partition to reactivate OSX? |
| 16:44.13 | simonrvn | the partition map is essential... |
| 16:44.33 | simonrvn | the driver parts. i would keep too |
| 16:46.12 | simonrvn | why aren't you asking this in ##osx ? |

| 19:41.54 | kruemeltee | simonrvn, because I have installed successfully archlinux on my ibook ... and I want to get a dual boot system ... but I think I got it :-) I just need the partition hda8 (the biggest one) ... |
| 19:42.41 | kruemeltee | I copied hda8 back (with the help of dd) and got macosx running ... now I'm configuring yaboot (bootmanager to boot linux and windows) |
| 19:43.20 | kruemeltee | do you know where to search for what the partitions are for? |
| 19:43.48 | kruemeltee | I'm intrested in the system of osx because I've got a lot of questions ... |
| 19:44.41 | kruemeltee | for instance ... why am I able to create more than 10 partitions without any problems? On intel based pcs I got 3 primary partitions and (I don't know the exact number) of extended partitions |
| 19:44.51 | kruemeltee | mac-fdisk didn't asked me for that |
| 19:47.34 | simonrvn | because it's a different partition format |
| 19:48.57 | simonrvn | not everything revolves around x86 |
| 19:49.16 | simonrvn | and even there, there's variations |
| 19:53.36 | kruemeltee | yeah ... but thats very intresting ... do you have any sources for reading how all "the other" deal with this? |
| 19:54.43 | simonrvn | google |
| 19:56.04 | kruemeltee | *gg* okay ... I have tried google a few hours ago ... but now very successfully ... |
| 19:56.51 | kruemeltee | but okay ... maybe our library has some book about this stuff :-) |
| 19:58.07 | simonrvn | the 2 most common partition table type on x86 are efi and dos; on ppc mac, it's a partition map. then you have the partitions themselves, which can vary depending on os. |
| 19:58.45 | simonrvn | as you can probably see, it's a big question. |
| 19:59.31 | simonrvn | and i don't claim to know all about it either ;). |
| 21:10.15 | Bor_Ed | yet another satisfied customer... |
