Ti PowerBook Newbie Installation ?

Postby templar » 09 Jul 2005, 00:26

I am currently running os x Panther on my ti 1ghz powerbook and want to run YDL 4.0 on it in a dual boot config. As I'm new to this I just wanted to lay out my strategy and solicit feedback.

1) Using SuperDuper from Shirt Pocket software I will clone my entire powerbook drive.

2) Backup the clone to my external iomega 160gb fw drive

3) Partition PowerBook drive using tools included w/ ydl (in the process erasing everything)

4) Install ydl on its partition

5) reinstall my cloned OS X HD from external drive

This would then give me both operating systems on the powerbook, yes?

I would appreciated any feedback on my plan. This is the way I thought to do it because these are the tools at my disposal.

Thanks,

William

that should work but my suggestion would to be back up all of ur data and do a fresh install of tiger (im just worried about forks and stuff not translating back right onto a smaller partition) id say give it a try like u said first but dont ditch the clone as itll have all the data u need
