First, what is preferred way of resizing Mac OS X partition? I've heard about parted (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89960), maybe there's something else, or some culprits I should be aware of? Second, what is current state of ADB keyboard/trackpad support? I know they don't work yet, but since I'm considering to implement this missing functionality, I'd like to avoid doing work others might already have done, even if it's far from being finished ATM. So if someone has files/CVS repo, may I take a took at those? Third, what are current problems that need to be taken care of for this port to get Tier-1 status, aside from making ports compile and run without issues? ;-) I've got pretty inspired by how well Ubuntu runs on PowerPC Macs [*], so I thought I'd get one to see if FreeBSD can ever compete. Thanks! ./danfe [*] http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=13955
