Right, but I think the question is: "Can I convert a HFS+ drive to HFS so
I can use it under YDL and do I need to repartition in order to do this?"
The answer to that questions is: I don't know of any HFS+ -> HFS
conversion utilities. I'm sure there are some, but the easiest and
cheapest way would be to take an exsisting partition and use apple drive
setup to chop it up into 2 gig slices suitable for HFS to use (er.. maybe
HFS's optimim limit is 4 Gig.. I don't rememebr and get confused easily
with FAT semantics at times)
