somebody told me , that if I perform a clean Installation of OS X on a MDD DualG4, It woudnt work because, the Mac OS X Installer CD will ask for a small HD, Less than 8 actually, it is true? I think its impossible because it came installed on a 60 gigs HD,
what do you think?

Talk about confused rules. Some of the older macs (beige G3 and early imacs) required that you install OSX in the 1st 8gb of the hardrive. A newer G4 should have no problems installing OSX on a 60gb drive.
