Hi all, So I'm trying to install FreeBSD on an old iBook G4, that was running Debian (uggghhh!). I tried to put FreeBSD on it, but I kept getting an error while partitioning, and looking at the release notes, it appears that it can't partition the discs using sys-install, and it says that I have to use gparted. My only question is: can I access parted from the FreeBSD? or would I have to burn an ubuntu live cd from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/, boot into that, and open up Gparted to partition. Also, does gparted on the Ubuntu CD support ufs (Unix File System)? Thanks, Jordan P.S. I lost my OS X install CD, so that is of no use
