You can use the Mac OS partition for linux only if it is hfs not hfs+ so
if the partition is hfs+ then yes you do need to re-partition the hard
disk and re-install everything... then later you can use the space in
linux (assuming you are using yaboot to boot since bootx requires the Mac
OS),

Is it that you cannot boot into it at all, or do you want to have it boot
linux automaticly? Also are you using bootx or yaboot?

use the telnet command... i.e. 'telnet something.somewhere'
