| Linux From Scratch is a fun way to learn about Linux, but it expects you to already have Linux running. [http://trac.cross-lfs.org Cross-compiling] is already supported but OS X is a little weird--so here are some hints for bootstrapping LFS from OS X. I've only tried this on 32-bit PPC, I have no idea how well or badly it would work on G5 or Intel chips. | |
| Generally, you can follow the [http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.0.0rc4/ppc/ Cross-LFS book], I only refer to areas where changes are needed. | |

| === Partitioning === | |
| To perform the partitioning, you'll probably want to use a Linux rescue CD. Gentoo's PPC CD has a version of parted that can even resize existing HFS+ partitions non-destructively, I think Debian's does too. Using Disk Utility or a commercial tool like iPartition is an option, but I'm not certain they can create the special partition types Apple_Bootstrap and Apple_UNIX_SVR2. |
