Hi Rogerio,
Sorry i forgot to not mention the machine that i have, its a powerpc
g3 800mhz (384ram 30gb hd)
the reason of why i dont have the install cd is because i just bought
it used, and the guy who sold me the mac didn't have the manuals/cd
with him in that moment. (im contacting him so i can get that stuff,
btw)
Lets say i boot from a macbook (those with intel processor) with a
gparted live cd, will that work?
Also i've found this: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
Its a live-cd with partition-tools and they have an iso ppc version to
download, do you (or anybody else) know if this works fine?
Well for now that's all.
Thanks
