Hi all, I subscribe to OS X FAQ, and their advice is priceless. Almost as good as Mastering Mac OS X by Todd Stauffer, a fine book that I am willing to share with you all. (Some gems from Todd, e.g. forget your password? - here's a command-line workaround.)
OS X FAQ said "stay away from 10.1.5" - and I did. My setup - Beige G3 400 MHz, ATI Rage Orion 16 MB, 768 MB Ram, external SCSI 10 GB (works, but needs 9.x for X to be happy - X running on internal IDE HDD). I have also used SWIM to activate the moribund floppy drive. It works! Have many other questions (e.g. hot to use an OrangeMicro Grappler 40uow that doesn't have X drivers, etc.). Cheers George PS: Some Linux people over at YellowDog claim that OS X is 'broken' for non-home use, I repeat 'non-home' use (meaning networking, I suppose). --- Tim and Angelina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > "Eric D." wrote: > > > on 14/6/02 04:59, Ryan Coleman at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > Ok, Guess what?
