![]() It should come as no surprise to learn that this is advanced stuff, and to fit all the instructions into the space we have, we've had to gloss over a few things, and assume a high level of competency. If you have an existing OS X install, you could clone it off to a FireWire hard disk, then, once the internal hard disk is partitioned, clone it back to the OS X partition. This process, of course, wipes the information from the Mac's hard disk, so make sure you copy off any data you want to keep before beginning. If you want to make Linux your sole operating system, it's much simpler than the finicky process we're detailing here you'd miss steps two and three completely, then when installing Ubuntu you'd tell it to use the entire disk. As an example of what you could do to give an old Mac a new lease of life, we're going to take a Power Mac G4 and make it triple-boot with Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and the Linux distro Ubuntu.
