In the next week or so I will re-install Panther and I have a (weird) question.
I've heard of this being done in Linux and was wondering if it was possible to do on the Mac.
I have an 80 GB hard drive and what if I make 2 partitions, one say 10 GB and the rest 70 GB. Then what if I drag the Panther install icon and all the folders (including the hidden) to the 10 GB partition.
Would I then be able to install Panther onto the 70 GB partition?
btw, I have the DVD version of Panther.
(and I know that there are tons of people who are going to say 'why do that? It's way easier to install off the disk.' I'll tell you: I want to experiment with the computer, and this will also help me when I need to install Linux off a downloaded file. (as I do not have a DVD burner))
