in which case i stand corrected. ;-) like i said, my understanding of Apple
hardware is limited.

i doubt it matters from a practical point of view, right? it's just that
when i installed linux on my ibook, the instructions i followed did it this
way, and i didn't know enough to realise it could be done differently. the
only reason i suggested it is because i *know* it's a safe way to do it. i
also *thought* it was the only way to do it, because i had never seen any
other method, but i hope i made it clear that i wasn't sure about that.
anyway, thanks for setting me straight. learnt something today. ;-)
