Re: Booting 7200 without MacOS?



Buy another disk.  Even if you dumped evey byte of macos, you would have ... 700
MB of disk!  Geez.  It just isn't enough.  I was just there and did this exact
thing on this exact model, only mine was a 7200/75  ~:^)  I bought a 4 gig disk
on ebay for $38.  It was worth it.

Also, w/o macos, it is *extremely* difficult to boot Linux on this model.  I
have not succeeded in doing that yet and have fairly determined that it might
not be worth the effort since I have BootX.extentions working OK.
