I wish I could find a version for Tiger. From what I've learnt, Minefield seems quite fast. No such thing as an up-to-date Minefield that runs on Tiger. It cannot exist. Minefield now requires the newer compilers and SDK, that produce code for Leopard SL only. If you go back in time, on Furby's list, to 9/15, the Minefield build will run on Tiger. But running such an old Minefield build kindof defeats the purpose. Better to use the Namoroka builds.

But with you suggestion on completely uninstaling FF, I may be able to get it up again. You sure you have the right build? Firefox, with no prefs, is a double-launch. The first creates the default profile and its prefs then it relaunches itself. Are you saying that the secondary launch never occured? Do you have any sort of crash log from this? Have you tried removing any/all inputmanagers and such before launching? - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Upgrading 400mhz Sawtooth
On 09-09-27 01:10 PM, Doug McNutt wrote: le. Meanwhile, also, this machine is noisy. Anyone know of a quiet fan I could replace with? Which fan. In my case the noise was from the small fan on the AGP video card that came with the Mac from Apple. It's pretty easy to unplug the AGP fan and check the noise without it. Unfortunately it probably not a good idea to simply leave it unplugged. I took the original card out. It currently has an ATI 9200LE in it and that does not have a fan. Even with this 'super' video card, Youtube runs like snail. Anyway, would it be good to get ATI's drivers for this card, or just use the one in OS X. Does ATI have them? As regards the fan, I was talking about the large fan that sits right below the PSU. Can that be changed for a quieter fan. It's quite noisy.

No questions. If you're onto Youtube though, don't bother, more ram does not seem to do improve viewing. I have 2GB ram in my sawtooth with a very good video card, and it's still crap. $12? for 512?

Apple Studio Display question
Greetings, I am posting here because I don't know where else to post. I have to store my g4 DA and Apple Studio Display 17 LCD for the winter. I live in Minnesota and I am concerned about storing it in nonclimate controlled storage unit. Will the LCD survive the cold, or should I find a heated place to store it?

My better-half had what you've got and we had it stored in St. Paul, in a non climate controlled storage. We've not tried it out yet but I'm sure you'd be fine. I had my Sawtooth in there as well. and that's running right now. I won't worry too much about it. But if the building is in the middle of a field in Moorehead, then I'd be concerned. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Moving hard drives from one dual G4 to another
To Bruce and others - Well, I transferred over all the hard drives, including the boot-up drive, and except for some temporary issues that seem related to a PCI firewire card I tried to install at the same time, all seems to have gone well. Thanks for the advice and encouragement!
