    "Make sure that you have the OSX Install DVD ready. I used 10.4, but it should be
    almost the same for all other versions. With Leopard you might not be able to create
    really small partitions, but on the other hand you could try resizing your current OSX
    partition to make some space for MorphOS. This guide will cover a 10.4 installation
    on a clean drive. " From the unofficial dual boot manual.
    :-) Checking on really small partitions in the installation

    1. MacMini had MorphOS installed alone and was fine but wanted a dual boot
    2. Inserting "X" retail showed the hard drive with three partitons?
    # a boot and OS3 And OS4.
    3. Ignorance? Failed to get past page one of "Dual boot guide"
    4.Mac mini now installing "X' on a clean drive.
    5.Going to "4. Preparing an existing OSX installation for MorphOS" :-)
