Partitioning with OS X, a good or a bad thing?
How many schools of thought are there on that these days?
Should one partition? The 3 "Restore" disks that I had to run off first with my Ti did not partition, obviously.
Does partitioning have (great) advantages? Any experiences/advice to share?
I intend to use 9 natively *a fair* bit for the time being.
Thanks already.

I have mine partitioned right now, but would rather just have one disk for using X. But since there's no way to merge partitioned disks without losing data...

<strong>But does this mean that *everything* will work in Classic? I must admit to being a little confused there. Thanks.

IM not sure I exatly understand what you mean by this, but yes, I have 2 partitions on my iBook (one is just 2GB with MacOS 9 and backup / repair utils iin case my main one fries). I also have MacOS 9 installed on my main HD.
My classic apps work fine and if I boot into 9 everything works the way it is supposed to.
OS X and OS 9 play together so nicely that there is no need to separate the two on different partitions.

how are yer gettin' on with the ??
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Basically I am wondering if there is an(y) advantage in running Photoshop6 and Office 2001 natively from an OS 9 partition, although I do get the impression from the other replies here that it may be a waste of time/space to have a separate partition.
Thanks everyone for the input.
