[iBook] 8GB first partition limit for iBook Rev A? (Clamshell)

[Angus Wallace]

G'day,

I've been thinking about this a little more.. This is similar to the  
4Gb limit that used to (i.e. no longer) be a problem on x86, right?

You will use a boot loader to choose between MacOSX and Linux? I  
think as long as that is at the start of the HD (prob pointed to by  
the MBR) then you shouldn't have any problems.

surely there are forums where people have posted their experiences  
installing linux on clamshells? Why don't you check one of them out?

HTH,
-Gus
