How can I partition my hard drive?

My other answer is incorrect because Boot Camp is 10.5. I guess I would use a Copy of Carbon Copy Cloner and clone my Drive to a firewire drive, then use the Disk Utility to partition the Drive and Clone it back onto my Laptop..

I would use Boot Camp to Partition Your Hard Drive...If your using 10.4 it should be in the Utilities folder that resides in your Application Folder.. As a suggestion.. I would update your 30 GB drive to something a bit more substantial.

3GB may be too small for the OS and VMEM/Swapp files (I know there's minimums for certain OS's but can't remember what they are off hand, a search would trun them up)- could you split that a bit larger?

N.

My experience with Ubuntu is that it requires more than 3GB of hard drive and it also needs a swap drive. You can use the Disc Utility to partition, but this will wipe what is on the hard drive. Boot camp might be used without loss of data.
