I am helping a friend install Debian on an older MacBook, running OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). It currently has a single 300G HFS Plus (Journaled) Partition, with lots of free space.
He wants to keep OS X, and use Buster (or Sid, leading to the next Stable Release).
He wants to shrink the Mac Partition, create a couple more for this. (I explained the need for two, including a Swap Partition to him).
He thinks that Debian should be able to work on the same HFS Plus Disk format. Has anyone tried this?
This is all preliminary now, as I am trying to talk him into ext4 for the Debian Partition and, if he needs a place to share files, put a small, fourth vfat Partition in for that.
Thanks in advance.
