Lisa, thanks for the heads up.. I am unable to even access the messages file on that partition. I may have to erase and start again. I really wish that my powerbook supported at least OS X 10.4.x then I could voiceover there. unfortunately apple decided to EOL the g3 thru G5 series machines after they went intel. :( That really leaves me with having to seek alternatives. One nice thing about snow leopard is that I can take linux code, peak/tweak it for OS X, set the compile flags for G3 and produce X apps that will run on a G3 and they will run (at least under 10.3.9 with te X app). I really would like to do the same under a VM'ed linux (intel -> ppc) and make some more up to date packages for ppc linux. However, that will have to wait until I have a working linux on the G3 and have fully configured.
BTW, does anyone have any suggestions for an X GUI that doesn't need a mouse for access? - Eric On Sep 16, 2010, at 8:15 PM, Lisa Kachold wrote: > Hi! > > On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 11:33 AM, Technomage_Hawke > <[email protected]> wrote: > I quit using M$ after my eyes became unusable for even large print.
