i beleive he is trying to say he has OS 9, and he wants to defragment before he installs Tiger, i think...your suggestion assumes he has OS X already.
Original Message: ----------------- From: Charles Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- There's no such thing as a "freeware defragmentation program" for the Mac. It probably wouldn't do much good even if there was -- 10.3 features automatic defragging (of a limited sort). Generally when people tell me the machine that they've had for a while is "acting sluggish," it usually comes down to one of two things: 1. They are close to full on the disk (within, say, 2GB of full) 2. They have never (or not for a long time) run any kind of utility to maintain their mac. If #1 doesn't apply to you, then it's most probably #2. Download Onyx, read how to use it, run the "automatic" function to do cron maintenance, repair permissions and clear caches, then reboot. The problem is likely solved. ----------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
