Greg, does this mac only have the 80 meg drive? If so then you are going to have
to get another drive. In order to run linux (I assume you know this) you have to
leave the MacOS on your comp (you need it to boot into linux). You prob should
have altleast a 50 meg partition for the MacOS and with that it will leave no
room for linux (If I remember correctly the base linux system takes up around
40meg).

p.s. by the way. I also have a Mac IIci (also a LC 630). Right now the IIci is
running slink but I'll be up grading to potato as soon as I get a ethernet card.
Does anyone have any idea where I can get a linux supported ethernet card for
the IIci?
