Thanks, I know :)

The main problem is that Apple's developers don't understand (or use) OS X 
"unix" capabilities, so everything is supposed to happen in one, big 
partition - you can't tell iMovie to allways use a specific directory, or 
iDVD that it should create it's DVD image on an external hard disk. I never 
found a hint how to tell OS X I would like to put the "users" directory on 
another partition....

Unfortunately, considering the present state of video making tools on Linux, 
iMovie remains my tolls of choice. But with 80GB on the main hard disk and an 
external 160GB on a firewire drive, I should find 10GB for YellowDog.
