I'm now (1 year later) considering partitioning my 1.4 gb harddisk.  I
initially chose not to, as I was only familiar with PC and MAC partitioning,
which have fixed sizes to the partitions.  But now, I'm setting it up as a
netboot server, and am having the usual NFS server conflicts.  I'm not finding
any references to fixed sizes in Mach partitions, so I'm wondering if both
partitions can draw from the same free pool?  If so, that would remove any
concerns I have at trying to decide what size each partition needs to be.
