Problem 1

I have iMac G5 and latest MOS on USB stick. I have serious eye condition and magnifying glass.
How do I install latest MOS, but so that I keep MacOS X and dual boot? If possible triple boot
since I do want to use latest Linux PPC with MATE (any recommendations?)

I need real step by step guide so I dont F ... it up

Problem 2
DJ nick has gave me his SAM460ex no CD, to install latest MorphOS.
He has AmigaOS 4.1 old version that came with SAM460ex.
I could destroy it for revenge, but its fair to keep it.
Same as 1) but since he has only 512MB RAM I doubt Linux is feasable on poor CPU and limited RAM,
so how to step by strep dual boot and install here

I plan to do this this weekend if possible.

I read dual boot PDF but it needs update and step by step process incl. install.

4.2? Then why sue? ;-P

OS 4.1 u something 2 or 3.
Yes, you are right, court case has fiddled with my mind. I wish OS 4.2 wasnt unicorn and I wont have to fiddle with US court system as non EU non UK citizen.

But, I am sure you can help me with this, you MOS guru :D

Regarding your problem #2: unfortunately no. But there are threads on this here on MorphZone.
Regarding your problem #1: With my Mac mini G4 and my PowerMac G5 AGP I simply followed the "dual boot PDF" you say "needs update and step by step process incl. install", which worked smoothly. But this was with MorphOS on the install CD, not on USB thumb drive. Booting your iMac G5 from USB instead should be possible with some OF magic, which has been discussed in countless threads over the years, the latest instance as recently as 2½ months ago.

OK I have working CD on iMac G5, I just need to buy blank CD, that is solvable. I ll try following Dual Boot PDF, and I hope MacOS X will survive.

OK on SAM460ex I have no regrets in killing OS 4.x (4.2 in my typo) for known reasons and DJ Nick agree. Surely performance on SAM460ex with 512MB will not be same as on iMac G5 1.5GB RAM.

Thanks for short, but OK exponation, case closed. However I do believe this should be step by step explained for SAM460ex, Macs and X5000 as MacOSX, Linux and MorphOS have different partitions and partition tables and I am not sure does something like LILO exists.

Some tool aiding install and creating boot menu (like LILO for Linux) would be most welcome.
