Be Careful: A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
This will work fine until system files are rewritten and optimized and inevitably fall outside of the 8GB mark, when things will start randomly failing or eventually not boot at all. At least this was the case with OS X 10.1, the last time we tried to make >8GB partitions work as boot volumes for OS X. You'll be fine as long as you never store files such as to fill the full 8GB mark, but, eventually, it will likely fail.
Be Careful: A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
Forgot to mention that also moving Classic and OS 9 Applications elsewhere, as well as trimming language and printer support can trim most OS X installs to ~2GB, as little as 1.2GB for highly trimmed deployments. In such dramatic reductions, one also reduces the need to move VM elsewhere (though I still advise it when a second fast disk is available). This same routine is quite valuable when trying to install OS X on 2GB and 4GB PowerBook drives when one cannot afford or justify purchasing a bigger/faster drive (though, again, for just as little as $40 one can make OS X run substantially better by installing a faster, if not bigger, drive on *any* Mac). |
