I am planning to move from Panther to Tiger on my G4 Tower (AGP
Graphics) and am thinking it would be a good idea to partition the 80
GB drive at the same time. Questions:
1. Does each partition have to have a copy of Tiger on it in order
to function?
2. As I understand it, I can use a program like SuperDuper or Carbon
Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone on one partition. This clone
can then be used if my main partition fails. As I also understand
it, I should not store anything else on the bootable clone because it
may cause the backup software not to work properly. Do you agree
with these points?
3. I read somewhere it's a good idea to have three partitions, but I
don't know why. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the third
partition would be used for?
Please advise. Thanks.
Leith
