370 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution 6. In the Format menu, select Free Space for your Yellow Dog Linux partition. Note that you can change the size of the partition if you don t want to use the defaults by entering the size you want or by using the slider. You can also name the partition if you like. Be sure to create a partition large enough for your Linux installation. The default sizes for some of the types of installations (discussed later in this chapter) are: Personal Desktop 2GB Workstation 2.5GB Server 1GB Everything 6GB These are size estimations, and you will need more room for any other applications you want as well as for personal files, and so on. 7. Choose the second gray partition and leave it as the default (Mac OS Extended) for your Mac OS X partition. You can name this as well if you like and adjust the size according to your needs. 8.

Select your hard drive in the List of Drives in the Drive Setup window. 4. Click the Initialize button, and then click the Custom Setup button. 5. Choose how many partitions you want in the Custom Setup pop-up window (3 partitions is a good selection for both Mac OS and Yellow Dog Linux, or 4 partitions for Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Yellow Dog Linux). You can use the slider bar to change the size of the partitions here. 6. Choose the top partition and select Unallocated in the menu that by default displays Mac OS Extended.
