Be Careful: A workaround for the 8gb partition limit on Beige G3s
Authored by: Frederico on Apr 05, '04 11:18:22AM

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).
