I tried going down the multiple OS on the same drive with
partitions road once. It just isn't worth the time or effort,
especially when it comes time to reinstall.

<div>Hard disks are so cheap these days, buy a new one,
install onto a fresh drive and let the OS do whatever it
wants to the partition table.

price (free).</div>

I'm going through an OReilly book and at some
stage I need to set up a Linux box. I have 2
PC's and a Mac. Is it possibly to make one
Linux without nuking the existing OS on one of
the machines?<br>

The bootcamp tool under OSX will convert your
partition table to MBR format, resize your
existing HFS+ partition to make way for a
DOS/Windows partition and set the startup disk to
CD/Windows.<br>
<br>
So run the bootcamp app then you should be able to
reboot, hit alt on boot and select your linux cd
to install from.<br>
<br>
Hope this (makes sense and) helps.<br>
