Hi There, I have tiger 10.4.4 on a G4 PowerBook. I have read through a lot of posts and have tried a number of proposed solutions to get into su. I know all my passwords I have ever used. I can change them on this G4. I am admin. uhhh that's about it. Now - when I go into terminal...

gee now here's a new hassle. I get into terminal, type su at password I just get 'sorry' back to the prompt. In mac I can get into admin etc etc etc. no password hassles (I know my passwords) is there a default su password - I have not been su before. thanks Gary

Hi, Yes Ibursts is (for south africa) nice and fast. but - I move around a lot during the day with my G4. At home my wife works on the windows machine. Printer, scanner all connected to it. So when I get home I often need to print our docs, give her info for the books etc. so I 'need'...

Thanks - but that didn't do the job. What that does is it stops the airport from connecting to my home network completely and/or the ethernet wireless from connecting to the Internet. I would like to be able to connect to the Internet via the ethernet/wireless modem and the home network...

:( - - Hi All, I see there were a number of people looking at this problem but no comments. Anything would help at this stage - I have tried a number of options but all to no avail. Thanks Gary

Hi All, I read through a gazillion posts and threads and couldn't find any info - so I really hope I am not duplicating. The love of my life is my G4 Power book - and have an internet connection through an iburst 'radio link' card that I plug in when I need it. At home I have linksys...

Hey Dennis, Thanks a lot - I am going to do it all right now and will give you feedback. Have yourself a great day/evening/night further (I don't know were you are in the world ;-) ) Yours Gary

Thanks Dennis, Hey - did you honestly think make a post like that and be left alone. 'ping' - wrong! You wet my almost insatiable (sp?) appitite for learning. OK - would you mind sharing that gem of info with me - I can find my way around unix - enough to get me into trouble but also...

Darn - I thought the stickies were useless so I just didn't use them - all this because of exactly the same problem. However I have not had this problem in Tiger. (which I just installed a few days ago) I am using the stickies in dashboard - I find it works well there. Gary

Hi There, When I installed Tiger I chose to just upgrade. Everything went well. I have no problems. In fact I really love the new look&feel. BUT my question is ... Has Tiger removed the 10.3 files etc that are not necessary any more? If yes then great but If no - then Can I get...
