So.. is there a way, when installing Leopard, to shrink the disk and install it on a different partition and have some kind boot menu on boot like I have at work dual-booting Linux and Windows? I want Leopard for BackToMyMac when I'm overseas with my MBP, to backup to an external drive attached my 867MHz G4 17" FP iMac. BUT I haven't found something as easy to use as the OS9 QuickTime Virtual Reality Studio for QTVR panoramas and objects.

The statutes recently quoted in the family pack thread grant you the right to "create a copy" on another machine for purposes of maintenance/troubleshooting, as long as you remove it when you're done. :-) -- Wes Groleau "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity.

If it is the only case, it is plain wrong. There are 20.000 classic titles I heard, it is something like erasing history and art. Well, eBay to the rescue I think. Ilgaz |
