Until we find the right vers.... If you say what tasks you're trying to perform we can probably provide the Terminal commands to do it..." My original reason for wanting Onyx on the Mini was because I had to force Empty Trash. Then I realized that although it's not a daily thing, I have liked having Onyx on the Quicksilver and occasionally run the cleaning and maintenance routines, so why not have it for the Mini too? Don't worry, I couldn't get the Panther version to even install on the Mini. Update: The version I had on the Quicksilver (I moved a copy over to the Mini) force emptied the Trash for me but I had to force quit it when I had it doing other cleaning things (sorry I can't recall which exactly) - I had set that up and let it run two hours or so while I went grocery shopping! But it was still going when I got back, and it just seemed so wrong that it should take that long. I don't recall it taking that long on the Quicksilver! Anyway, when I have time I'll open up Onyx and make a list of the things I do with it on the Quicksilver, which I'd like to do on the Mini.
