Of course:

1. Boot up the computer.
2. Insert the OS X CD-ROM.
3. Depress the "C" key and keep it depressed.
4. Restart your PowerBook.
5. The TiBook will boot from the OS X CD-ROM.
6. The installer will automatically lanuch.
7. Quit the installer.
8. Launch the Disk Utility application.
9. Reformat the drive: If you want OS X only, two UFS (Posix/UNIX) partitions, one of ~1.0 gigabyte and one which fills the rest of the disk OR, if you need both OS 9 and OS X, three HFS+ (MacOS Extended) partitions, one of ~1.0 gigabyte and two others; make sure the OS X partition is at least 3 gigabytes. THE ~1.0 GIGABYTE PARTITION IS FOR OS X'S USE AS A DEDICATED SWAP PARTITION. You really, really want to have a dedicated swap partition. See this forum or this month's MacAddict (hard copy) magazine for instructions on how to tell OS X to use this partition as the swap file repostitory. If you don't do this, OS X will run just fine on one partition; you can always make this change later.
10. Reboot the PowerBook from the OS X CD-ROM as in steps 3 & 4 above.
11. Install OS X with the installer program.
12. Install OS 9, if desired, from the OS 9 CD-ROM.
13. Share and enjoy!

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME
repartition - load a partition table SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file] DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers are coming from partition-file. EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0 repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you. DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output. FILES
/dev/hd[0-9] SEE ALSO
hd(4), part(8). BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open. AUTHOR
