err... ok, of course i got the recovery cds with my iBook, but like I stated it's a November 2002 iBook (800Mhz) which means the cd's are 10.2.3. I want to install MacOS 10.1 for some testing purposes. I have an original Apple OS 10.1 CD, but it won't boot... Smiley mac hangs at some time...

Hi all, I' want to install 10.1 on my new iBook on a different partition to test a few things. Now I have an original Apple 10.1 install CD, but the iBook can't finish the boot process... It hangs during boot with a non spinning beachball in the upper left corner. When hitting "return" it...

UhOh, well the original X Partition was deleted already... So I guess its a reinstall for me then.

I know you can change the icon size but I want to change the FONT SIZE, like I could under macos 9.

Yes indeed... When I tried to boot into 10.1.3 today I only got a blue screen. No login window, no finder... fsck -y in single user mode tells me disk is ok. No my questions: 1. is there a key command to get me to boot into the login window, ( I had it set to auto login before) so that I...

I tried to log out but it won't accept any known passwords on login also >console does not work. Only a restart brings everything back to normal...

Problem still persists... any suggestions ???

Is there any tool out that can recover erased files ? Like Norton Unerase under 9 ?
