Is there any chance of resizing my macos partition?
I've burned the first debian 2.2.r3 install cd, but I'm pretty depressed at the proposition of backing everything up, and reinstalling macos AND linux, and getting them to dual boot easily...

Any tibook/debian install walkthroughs available?

backups are a bitch, but it is the best way.

Agreed. In fact, Linux's main file system, Ext2, is rather temperamental (read: extremely susceptible to data loss if not unmounted cleanly, at least compared to very resilient file systems like HFS, HFS+, NTFS, ReiserFS, and other journaling file systems). In other words, if you are using Linux, I would highly recommend a strict backup regimen.

P.S. Note that I am not trying to imply that HFS and HFS+ are journaling file systems, as they definitely are not. However, compared to FAT, Ext and Ext2, they are very stable file systems -- which is why Windows users' hard drives "crash" so often, requiring reformatting, while that pracitically never happens to Mac users!
