If you'd retain the original filesystem (perhaps issue a resize to make |
| 10 |
room for a linux partition?), you could simply use something like [1] to |
| 11 |
use the HFS+ volumes including the /Users/<user> homedirs, to keep your |
| 12 |
user's home. Importing the users wouldn't be too hard to as exporting |
| 13 |
the OSX users. On 10.5 for example you could use |
| 14 |
`dscl . -readall /Users` |
| 15 |
to do a LDAP-like dump of the users in the system. |
