X isnt that crazy, in my opinion. But it does take a wee bit of =20
getting used to. It is admittedly very alien compared to 9.xx.
Having =20=
Mac, has helped me a great deal on the way to being at home in
both =20
worlds. I can now even give basic support (by SMS=85) to an
acquintance =20=
who has just gotten a brand new iMac.
OK, how about supporting me now! :) OT I guess, and changed
subject) since this prob is on a Quicksilver, but could not resist
asking you
I have a partioned IDE drive with X on one and 9 on the other. Had
a freeze this morning when in classic. Could do nothing but turn
the machine off (which poor old X seems quite unable to handle
well, I have had no end of trouble previously re this sort of
thing). Using Disk Utility, I checked the X partition (the 9 one
was fine) and it had :Invalid key length The volume OS X HD needs
to be repaired." I started from a CD with disk utility on and tried
to repair the said partition but it could not do it and displayed
the same message.
What to do now? Wipe all and reinstall everything yet again? Buy
yet more utility software?
When I was using 9, freezes (which were rare for me) did not have
these disk corruption or file sys problems, at least not ones that
could not be repaired with disk aid (which auto came up if you had
not switched the machine off properly).
I am not very good at this low-level stuff, but OS9 apps are not good
at fixing OSX stuff. OSX is Unix, and that means a gazillion tiny
files that you dont see (X packs it all neatly up for you). I suppose
you haved & use xPostfacto? Have you tried to restart in X?
Me & my G3 (Gossamer) have not had these sort of problems, Does sound
strange, admittedly. Maybe a post on the Un supported OSX list would
help?
