my company got a few of those new imacs to replace these mini's there were ppc's too but they were gone quick. so i got the one that i could.

its a 1.66 c1d 2gb ram 60gb hd & leo unfortunately, only things included were power brick, remote and a copy of leo.

so i toyed with boot camp. installed xp home. no problems

question; can i use bootcamp to partition 25 gigs, use 5 gigs for xp and 20 gigs for vista?

question 2 ; along with that when i am able to acquire an intel tiger can i partition and boot that in a similar fashion as in going to windows by holding down opt?

Sure, boot camp/OS X treats each partition as a separate hard drive. You can also install Linux if you want. It's going to be kind of cramped putting all that on that little hard drive though.

question 2 - also yes. Although some newer machines will refuse to boot Tiger, or so I'm told by District IT.

thanks as for the space issue, it's purely for educational fun. once i get an intel tiger it will be strictly that.

Didn't Boot Camp for Tiger "expire"? (As in, the partitioning tool will no longer create new partitions ... as far as I know, the Windows drivers included with it continue to work for previous installations.)

leopard main OS, partition for separate install of tiger

install windows via bootcamp in leopard. where are you confused?
