dear all, |
| 2 |
i'm FINALLY getting my 15" powerbook which i have been lusting over for |
| 3 |
months... as an avid redhat fan, having been dual booting with win xp, |
| 4 |
YDL is the obvious choice. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
however, i am really getting into gentoo - or the concept at least. i'd |
| 7 |
love to try it out. i am VERY curious to see how much faster it is (as |
| 8 |
compared to YDL) given optimised compilation etc. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
what i'd quite like to do is essentially run os x and 9 in mol under a |
| 11 |
linux distro. ydl i've used before so i'm familiar with it and that will |
| 12 |
be my base distro. however, i really want to use gentoo as an |
| 13 |
alternative. what i'd quite like to do is share the YDL swap partition |
| 14 |
and the /home partition with gentoo. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
it's not a case of 'can i do this?' but 'how do i do this?' |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
the triple boot of ydl, os x and 9 is straightforward enough... i can |
| 19 |
see how that will work with no problems at all. the documentation is |
| 20 |
excellent and i have done it for friends already. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
has anyone tried the quadruple boot schema i have suggested? i think |
| 23 |
that i would probably install, in the following order: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
9 |
| 26 |
X |
| 27 |
YDL |
| 28 |
gentoo. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
any problems i might encounter with yaboot? or anything i haven't |
| 31 |
thought through? how would i share the YDL swap and /home with gentoo? |
| 32 |
if anyone can help me that would be great. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
look forward to hearing from you all. |
| 35 |

regards, |
