as far as i know, 428 IS final. so i think or hope that the system files are not the problem. i must confess that when i was installing this, it took me about 30 tries because my laptop never seems to like the disc and keeps spitting it out. it was only after i replicated the conditions when i...

i've been using Tiger since the pre-release editions and the last one that Apple decided to christen as final version is the 8A428. and yes i've been watching my activity monitor. most of the time, it never shows anything heavy running, except maybe for Safari that might hog up to 30-50% at a...

i experienced something similar as well. my powerbook Beachballs a lot after 428 (final), it was much faster on 425. and memory is used up almost 100% by simply running safari. what the hell is going on?? 10.4.1 can't come soon enough. not to mention the fact that Spotlight is far from the speed...

you can always use the built-in VPN system in OSX. this is what i used for my school instead of Cisco, and it worked well. i've been using it since Panther.

i think i might do a clean wipe sometime later. at the moment, i'm content with the Tiger that's running in my computer.

hm..interesting, that means Tiger must have automatically changed mine after recognizing that Cmd-spacebar has been assigned to Quicksilver. :confused:

if it keeps crashing, just reinstall it. it's been running fine on my Tiger thou.

why would you wanna delete them? they barely take up any space. however, if you want to de-activate them for resourcing reasons, then you can just do the above said instructions.

How come certain Applications don't function anymore, can't turn on, or lost some of its capabilities? You will have to reinstall these applications. these symptomps occured on archive/install because the connections to the application support files or the library files might have been...

actually, the key is CTRL-Spacebar, but you can always set it to anything you want.

correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't a clean install result in your hard drive being wiped and losing all your data? or would it only erase a certain partition?

try repairing permissions, and logging in/out, or restarting your computer. Safari did this to me once and permissions repair revealed that TONS of stuff was mis-aligned. ow, and i'm speaking about Tiger. good luck.

yea, i'm also debating whether or not i should go to my local Tiger event at one of the biggest apple resellers near my place. i've been running tiger for almsot a month, but i still feel like i should go and get the 'real' one. :D

i also need Cisco VPN to login to my school network. however, i got sick of the Cisco client cause it was buggy and unstable. so i started playing with the BUILT-IN VPN client in OSX. now i don't even use cisco anymore. i have a lock-icon on the menu bar that allows me to login to VPN networks...

if you already burnt it from Disk Utils properly and it IS recoqnized as a Mac OSX DVD, but it still gets rejected everytime, try zapping your PRAM. this is what happened to me, my PB keeps spitting the disc out, and Zapping PRAM works.
