Just a quick question.
I've been following the 15 partition thread for a while now. I've 
reformatted my main drive now in several different ways and keep getting 
extraneous free parts that will take me above the 15 part limit.

thinking about YDL 4 on this machine

I'm running 10.3.4 on a B&W G3 rev2, all disks running on the internal 
ATA bus(s)

here's my part map for the drive I want to install YDL 4 on:

    1:  Apple_partition_map Apple                     63 @ 1
    2:       Apple_Driver43*Macintosh                 56 @ 64
    3:       Apple_Driver43*Macintosh                 56 @ 120
    4:     Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh                 56 @ 176
    5:     Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh                 56 @ 232
    6:       Apple_FWDriver Macintosh                512 @ 288
    7:   Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh                512 @ 800
    8:        Apple_Patches Patch Partition          512 @ 1312
    9:           Apple_Free                     19369792 @ 1824      ( 
9.2G)
   10:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 19371616
   11:            Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3  41680896 @ 19633760  ( 
19.9G)
   12:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 61314656
   13:            Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_4   6029312 @ 61576800  ( 
  2.9G)
   14:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 67606112
   15:            Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_5  88499744 @ 67868256  ( 
42.2G)
   16:           Apple_Free                            0+@ 156368000

my question is can I combine the empty (9, 10, 12, 14, and 16) without 
killing it all?
