Recently got my Power Mac G4 and it's got issues with the PSU (which I'm currently fixing). It didn't come with a hard drive but I do have a hard drive which is currently empty. This thread is on my questions on installing an OS onto the MDD
1. How do you partition the hard drive with the Mac's BIOS?
2. How do you install OS X and which version do you recommend? I have the model with the dual 1.42 GHz CPUs (not sure about RAM, but it's stock plus I can probably upgrade it to 1GB)
3. Can it run Windows and if so, how do you install Windows on it?
4. How do you install Linux on it?
It's my first Mac so I don't know a lot about how to do any of these things, but I am really keen on getting this G4 up and working again on multiple platforms after I fix up the power supply. Thanks guys
