I don't think so, from a cursory reading, there were some things that
need to be changed. woody recomended much more stuff in the original OS
of the hardware, while i believe that thanks to libparted, much more can
be done with partman. the OF issues were often also absent of the woody
documentation, for non-pmac hardware.
