I am new to the PowerPC/Mac world having recently purchased an iBook G4.
Whilst i am hugely impressed with Mac OS X, I am very keen to install Linux
as I've used it now for years in the x86 world...
I decided to try Debian and found that disk partitioner won't recognise the
disk (I was following the instructions by Branden Robinson) Instead I tried
pdisk from within Mac OS X. It however refuses to modify the partition map
and responds with the message "Map not writable"
Perhaps, do i need to mount something with r/w??
Note I have already tried:
- toggling the read-only setting in pdisk
- running within sudo
- running in Console Mode
Very grateful if anyone has any other suggestions...
In case it is helpful here is the output from a listing from within pdisk:
