I might be wrong but in many cases you pretend to write textual things like this: "example" but you write "example." or "example," or "example:", which is confusing, especially for newbies. Take care and keep on helping please!

Though it's generally recommended that you install OS X before Linux because OS X's installer might mess up the boot loader.<br /><br />If you have to create a new partition for Tiger, that's more complicated. I've never done it before, but I think you can create it with gParted (you may need to boot from a live CD?) and format it as hfsplus with mac-fdisk. That's my best guess. Make sure to back up your data before trying anything like that.<br /><br />Also, don't forget to run "sudo ybin -v" after making any changes to yaboot.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700474277267739107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-20094946738880219502013-06-02T12:59:04.660-07:002013-06-02T12:59:04.660-07:00maybe editing yaboot?maybe editing yaboot?teuggafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234145851165892096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-55372983374742300322013-06-02T12:56:53.389-07:002013-06-02T12:56:53.389-07:00it is possible to make dual-boot my ppc with tiger...it is possible to make dual-boot my ppc with tiger & lubuntu without reinstalling and edit the partitions manually?
