At last a decent OS for this box... I immediately grabbed the corresponding FAQ... and one big question popped up... how do I boot?? Do I really have to keep MacOS on the already abysmally small harddisk? or can I install a boot loader that goes into openbsd immediately from startup?? I can put MacOS on an external HD and install from there... so size limitation for the installation is not an issue... has anyone gotten this thing running on the 170? isn't it too small?? cu simon -- In theory there is no difference between theory and practice...
