Just to let you know... The 1ghz PowerBook G4 can handle a 320gb ATA 
disk. so maybe it would be a good idea to exchange your existing HD with 
a 320gb disk - best is the WD Caviar 5400rpm/16mb cache or the somewhat 
more expensive 'Black' version of that disk.

Since you have both 10.2.8 (can be upgraded to 10.5.8 on the 1ghz PB) as 
well as classic, you can use an older version of Carbon Copy Cloner to 
make identical copies on a 320gb disk - partitioned into 3 partitions, - 
for example a 40gb partition for OS 9.x, a 80-100gb partition for your 
Linus and the rest for OS X...

Cheers, Erik Richard
