Question regarding the concept of partitioning: The sysyem is kept on its own partition it seems. Startup disk still works the same in the control panel? As updates & patches are released there are no special requirements to install on that partition? Silly question: is the reason for partitioning a performance gain or to keep the individual partions from fragmenting as quickly? As with most Mac owners, I dump everything on a single partitioned hard drive. Rod On Wednesday, June 11, 2003, at 10:45 AM, Kunga wrote: > No problems. It's still empty.
