Installing Mac OS X without destroying Debian
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,
I was giving some consideration to installing a small partition with
Mac OS X on my Powerbook5,7...mostly for just-in-case usage of features
like Radeon TV-out.
I hear the Mac OS X installer is extremely unkind to existing
operating systems whose developer != Apple. How best to install OS X
without trashing Debian? Moreover, what filesystem to choose for
interoperability? I hear Mac OS X has FUSE now, so perhaps it can read
and write Ext2/3 as there is a FUSE driver for that. Or does Mac OS X
have some kernel-mode driver for that available somewhere. And also,
what filesystem should I choose in install OS X on? It's not as
important as OS X being able to read-write my Linux partition, because
that's where I spend the vast majority of my time and I expect to boot
into OS X only rarely...so therefore my data will be on my Linux
partition.
And, finally, anything I need to know about resizing Ext3 (should be
the same as on x86 PC's, no?) and the Apple partition table? How best
to reorganize that?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for asking so many questions, I'm still a
new PowerPC/Linux user.
