    yea and the worst thing is that it is the larger of the partions. 14g on morph, and 60+ on the mac side. I have only 657megs left now on the morph partition. If i gutted out some crap on the mac side, is it possible to repartition?

    a little help :)
    1) change your internal hard disk with one bigger (hd ide 2,5" 44pin)
    or
    2) Install OSX Tiger 10.4.x and/or OSX Leopard 10.5.x in a FIREWIRE hard disk external (in this way if you switch on the external firewire hard disk you have the bootstrap of OSX Mac, if It's switch off you bootrap MorphOS, simple :-) )
    bye

    Xyphoid: it's possible with HFS partition but there is no software to repartition SFS.


    Dual Boot it's not embarassing at all. But running OSX after using MorphOS - that's sad experience ;)
    MorphOS 3.x

    You can actually do that, but only in one direction unfortunately.

    @Divinity:

    I actually did both, I replaced the HD with a 120GB Toshiba (and slammed in 1GB RAM while the thing was apart anyway) to run MorphOS on, and used the external 250GB LaCie Firewire drive I got with the Mini for OSX.

    Since booting MorphOS currently pretty much makes the Firewire drive useless, it's set up so that it'll automatically boot OSX whenever connected, and MorphOS otherwise, basically working as a giant OSX dongle. ;)
