My old iMac (1998) G3 seems to have the limit of the first 8 GB for installing any operative

system if we want it to be bootable.With Mac OS X it seems to be true,we run into

problems if the installation gets out of this limit.

I have a LinuxPPC distribution installed on one partition within my 4GB harddisk,so the

8 GB limit does not apply.Now I am installing a new 80GB HardDisk and I want to install

FedoraPPC,OpenSusePPC,DebianLennyPPC on it.

The problem is : Can Linux surpass this 8GB limit and be installed on partitions out of this

8GB limit,and be bootable and run without problems? It seems a hardisk controller limitation

of these first iMac models.
