i have a ppc emac running 10.5 that i'm aiming to put a 400G disk
into.  slowing me down is figuring how to put non-server osx swap into
its own partition -- i *think* i've got it...

i have tenfourfox, but i was also thinking about all the other things
that *could* be updated.  there's a long freeware shopping list
included in the os - 150-200 things - plus the kernel is opensourced.*
probably not all the freewares can be updated to their latest without
surrounding revisions, but there must surely be later versions which
would still drop in.

the kernel includes much more than processor-specific code; general
kernel features and drivers et al might be back-portable from later
osx with 'little' work.

alas, i don't have the skills or resources for any of this.  i'd be
willing to help test though.
