Hello

What do you call a "Mac" partition?

Re: Linux with Mac partition

Just to make sure. :)

What kind of architecture you trying to install? Not intel, I assume. Give more details (architecture, disk layout, etc)...

Re: Linux with Mac partition

Hi,

I am installing it to a Power PC, and it is working fine. But I just want to know how to perform a disaster backup.

Hello,

I don't know about the Mac partition, but you can always save the Linux partition using cpio like this:

cd /
find . -print | cpio -pdumv >device_you_want

or dump (to save the entire filesystem).

Dump is more of a 'disaster' backup tool than cpio, but cpio allows you to recover individual files more easily.
