You should always do backups before
attempting something like this. See the Yellow Dog documentation for more information.
Installing Mac OS X and Yellow Dog Linux on One Hard Drive
If you choose to use one hard drive to house both Mac OS and Yellow Dog Linux, you need to
load Mac OS (X or 9) first and then create a partition for Yellow Dog Linux as the first partition. In
Mac OS X do the following:
1. Boot off the Mac OS X CD by holding down the C key with the Mac OS X CD-ROM
inserted.
2. From the Install menu, select Open Disk Utility.
3. Select your hard drive and then click the partition tab on the right side.
4. Choose how many partitions you want. (Two partitions is a good selection if you are
installing Mac OS X and Yellow Dog Linux, or if you want to install Mac OS 9 or earlier
and Mac OS X, you can choose the number of partitions needed.)
5. Choose the first gray partition that is untitled (it should be the top one).
6. In the Format menu, select Free Space for your Yellow Dog Linux partition. Note that
you can change the size of the partition if you don??™t want to use the defaults by entering
the size you want or by using the slider. You can also name the partition if you like.
Be sure to create a partition large enough for your Linux installation.
