I wonder ...........
If the file " DesktopDB.service '
is there so that when/if the hard drive is viewed by an earlier OS
that it provides the link into the older OS ?
Like : what happens during Target Disk mode ( yes its OSX )
and / or firewire connected from an external enclosure
Just a thought

Hi Ronni,
No, I've never had classic/OS9 on this computer.
It seems like it is part of the Leopard installation - I found that
others
have reported this:
<http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=379401> and
<http://forums.macworld.com/thread/93384>
I don't know what it is/does but since it ain't bothering me, I'm
not about
to start poking it with a stick ;)
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,
When you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard did you remember to delete
the
'Mac OS 9 /System Folder (not to be confused with /System, which is
an
essential part of Mac OS X)?
Also delete the /Applications (Mac OS 9) folder‹ again, not to be
confused with Mac OS X¹s /Applications folder?
You shouldn't have anything "Classic" left on your Intel computer.
Cheers,
Ronni

No idea what it is or where it came from!

Sorry Neil, I left out "Intel" ... Kind will show "Intel",
"Universal", "PowerPC".
Very educational Ronni !
There are also Native and Classic !
On my list I have just
1 x intel
heaps of Universal
a lot of PPC
and a few Native plus
a few Classic .
Looks like I am staying with PPC for a while yet .

Hi Neil,
I don't know of any trick other than checking in System
Profiler >
Software - Applications.
In the Kind column. It lists all your applications kind as
Universal or PowerPC
.

Hi Ronni,
That's got me thinking - I have no idea which of my
applications
are written
for Intel and which might be PPC applications running under
Rosetta!
Out of interest, do you know any trick to scan the applications
folder and
list which applications are Intel or PPC?
Cheers
Neil

Hi Merv,
It's still included at the moment, so assuming that this
option
carries through to the production release, then, yes, Rosetta
will
still be available.

Thanks Ronni - that is reassuring.

Rosetta is still there in the latest build of 10.6, but it's
not
installed by default.
You must add it in Customize Options.

Get used to it Philip. The last PPC-based Mac rolled off
the

inclination of returning to PPC. The sooner they can

people to go Intel, the more likely we are going to see a

slimmer OS X without all the PPC baggage.
Not only that, but some SL features will only be available
if you
have the very latest graphics processors
