Re: [CGUYS] Macintosh Question
I usually have no trouble finding this information. I go to Apple.com then choose the support tab. For the older systems I then click the link under Older Products (Pre Nov. 1997). I then choose what I want System, Display, or Printer. I find it easy to use. However, I could not find Power Macintosh 7800/180. Are sure it is not a Power Macintosh 7300/180? Here is the link to all older systems http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.legacy/index.html Steve Phil Marchetti wrote: I think this is what you are looking for: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25114 I found it by using Sherlock in OS X within the AppleCare Channel. I find it very hard to find tech articles at apple.com, but when using Sherlock, it is VERY easy to find exactly what you need quickly. Another great source of model specific info is : http://mactracker.dreamhosters.com/ I was taught in Library Science class in high school not to memorize tons of facts, but to memorize where to find the desired information.

Re: [CGUYS] Macintosh Question
However, I could not find Power Macintosh 7800/180. Are sure it is not a Power Macintosh 7300/180? Here is the link to all older systems Correct. There is no such thing as a 7800/180. If the computer you are asking about is a desktop model it could be a 7200, 7300, 7500, or 7600. The 180 speed narrows it down to 7300. Use Apple Sysyem Profiler to confirm this. It should be in your Utilities folder. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Sanity Check before installing Ubuntu
It took me mucho effort to get grub setup. I wanted to boot Linux (Suse) by default but have a choice to switch to Windows at boot time. I did not know about bootpart or the problem with remove the Linux drive. It did finally work though. -P Vicky Staubly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 20 May 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I recently acquired a 2nd hard drive to add to my screwdriver shop system that currently boots XP Pro from drive 0.

[...] Any recommended precautions or course of action I should take? I hope this is a stupid question, as I wish this to be easy! Not a dumb question. Often, the solution for multi-OS systems will be to install Linux's boot-loader (LILO in older versions, GRUB in newer systems). However, GRUB doesn't live entirely in the boot sector (it uses some files and code in your Linux partition), so I know from experience (my work PC) that if you remove the drive with Linux on it, GRUB won't be able to work, and you won't be able to boot Windows either. So, I recommend you install Linux with GRUB in the Linux partition itself (not the MBR)... it will ask during the install... and then use a free program called bootpart ( http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm ) to add Linux to the Windows boot menu. See the bootpart web page for more instructions (though its instructions mention LILO, just mentally substitute GRUB). -- Vicky Staubly http://www.steeds.com/vicky/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
