I tried 2 DVD burners in case one was faulty. Jumpers were on Master then Cable Select. I was pressing C when it was booting up. Anything else I should have done? Is there a special Tiger boot disk (CD)? I got it loaded by using the 4 CD Tiger set which it recognized fine.

Please forward to someone familiar with Opera. Under Content in Preferences there is Author Mode and User Mode. There are 5 options in each plus you can choose a mixture of each. Translation: many, many options. Does anyone know how to make the minimum font size bigger? In Mail and...

In Microsoft Word, Finder, Safari and probably others OSX likes to cascade windows. Can I stop this? I want every window to open as large as possible.

I realize you can remap the letter keys. I want to use a very compact keyboard that won't have any of the keys to the right of the Backspace/\/Enter/Shift/Ctrl buttons. I definitely need the arrow keys and perhaps the Home and End keys. Anyway I want to hit a keyboard command which will...

It doesn't seem to give me the option of importing from my saved OE files. They're greyed out.

I need to archive a lot of files and DVDRW's are the cheapest per gb, changeable, portable storage available I've found at about $.15/gb. My query is I'm wondering how far back in the G4 lineup can DVDRW's be read? Can any DVD-ram read them? Can any combo CD-rw/DVD-rom read them? Can...

I have 3 hard drives & and no optical devices which show up fine in Finder. I'm plugged into a 2 port Linksys VOIP router but there is no other computer online now. In Finder I see: Primary Master IDE hard drive > All files as normal Primary Slave IDE hard drive > All files as normal...

"This product requires administrator privileges in order to launch." I AM the administrator. I went into the Get Info area under privilegesand set everything for Read and Write. what else can i do?

Is it possible to make a Microsoft Natural PS2 keyboard work on a G4? I don't mind the small key differences between the genuine Apple keyboard and the MS Natural. I've tried a PS2 to USB plug which wasn't detected though it was included with a USB mouse so maybe it was designed to convert USB...

I should probably mention that I'm designing a very different kind of case for the G4 mb and would like to run 2 mb's facing each other with a fan blowing from below. No power supply, hard drives, optical drives or anything else will be in the box. It seemed silly to take a whole bunch of heat...

If I run the fans/hubs/optical and hard drives off an external supply, and you say those draw more power than a motherboard, why not run both mb's off one power supply? My drives/fans/hubs/etc will be changing all the time, but the 2 mb's won't. Haven't put the cluster together yet. I'm...

I thought I'd run the fans, usb & firewire hubs, optical drives and hard drives off a seperate power supply and just the motherboards off the power supply. Do the motherboards drain the most power from the power supply?

Could this be controlled in the software? I'm using a Microsoft Trackball Explorer. On my PC its smooth. So its not the hardware.

Sometimes Finder seems to use an awful lot of resources. Is there a way of finding out why? I'm using the Process Viewer so I know how much is being used but is there a better way so I can avoid this in the future? Using 10.2.8 on a dual 500 mhz G4 with 1024 mb of ram and 7200 rpm hard drives.

The dreaded spinning colored wheel of death keeps getting launched when Opera needs to do some things. Is this a glitch with 10.2.8 that will go away with 10.4? I love Opera but can't use it if its freezing all the time.

Is there one that filters crossposting for OS X 10.2.8 or Tiger? So if John Smith posts his widget for sale in widgets.forsale as well as widgets.forsale.misc I read it once not twice. Agent does this superbly but unfortunatey does not make anything for OS X.
