New to PPC: partitioning for MOL?

[ecatmur]

I'm about to install Gentoo on my new iBook G4 (1.33GHz, 512MB, 60GB) and I guess I'll need MOL for the AirPort Extreme (btw: is there a donations account for the driver effort?)

What I'm wondering is how to partition my hard disk. I can't see myself using OSX much for anything other than AirPort and other drivers so I want it to use up the minimum of space necessary. Alternatively, is it possible to get MOL to use a regular file, like a loopback mount?

Thanks!

i's possible to install OS X onto an diskimage using mol
take a look into the documentation (I made a 'real' installation cause I'm using it from time to time so no clue)
when I've installed this Panther I pushed the needed space from ~8GB to 2.1 by deselecting many many stuff (iDVD alone takes ~2GB!) and I think a little bit less is possible so you would probably need a 2.5 or 3 gig image

I'm not sure, if MOL accepts total empty files...
create a file with dd, use mkfs.hfsplus (JoseJX portet it from Darwin)...
wait a sec, just realising something... I needed to modify the ebuild...
crap, gotta restart, to get it from my gentoo partition.. brb ^^""

EDIT1.2:
so, I uploaded my ebuild to bugzilla, take a look here

so, use dd to create a file, bla bla, do what Seanano wrote on the MOL mailing list Aug 2000, just substitute the tools for hfs with mkfs.hfsplus

oh, and add a [solved] if it works ^
