Did it work?

Q

Haven't started yet,

I need Norton Drive tools or similsr to shrink my HFS+ partition to install YDL in a LInux partition.

And I'm going to NY for a few days, I think I'll wait.

NT4 supports the PPC, maybe it will work?

Q

Windows on a Mac?

That's horrifyingly wrong!

I dont know if its HAL and BIOS compatible with Mac... but give it a shot! That would really kick ass! NT4 on a mac!

I heard it works with some minor hacking.

Yellow Dog is RedHat based, so it should be cool.

I would stick with Mac OSX but then again....Linux is so better. LOL.

Windows NT is better than OSX....

It would REALLY kick some ass!

If anyone will consent to inform my of the loacation of OS 9 compatible utilites for the shrinking of Macintosh partitions, please do so.

Yes NT4 works on a PPC CPU but does not work on a Apple PC. IBM makes or use to make a PPC that was setup as basicly a wannabe SUN workstation. The BIOS / ROM in a Macintosh won't boot the CD or floppy boot disks. Trust me I thought about this also back when NT4 was still big and a friend of mine family were pro Apple users and he wanted a Windows PC so he could play the newer game instead of waiting six months for them. Now if you were smart and can get a hold on a ROM / BIOS image from one of theses IBM PPC systems and have a EPROM burner and pop it in a Apple it might work then, but you would need to have the same CPU as the IBM had and such.
