UGH! my apologies!

Those same cards have been included with older versions the Mac OS for several years, I remember getting them with my 8.0 upgrade I bought, they are not anything specific to X put there to make you wonder if the OS isn't ripe yet. In general; a little bitter are we? you have not been singled...

Norton 6 says it is for OS X so it should be safe, although I suppose I should install it onto one of the other partions and check for updates via the web.

I've read, on several reputable mac news sites over the past few days (maccentral for one), that apple is making the 10.1 upgrade available for free at its stores and dealers. There are varying opinions as to which dealers will be included. Has this bit of news been debunked and I missed it...

I'm running a new quicksilver 733 at work with OS X version 10.(nda). Photoshop wouldn't launch because it couldn't find some necessary file, it worked yesterday, so I booted back to 9 and ran norton disk doctor (v6.0) and found TONS of errors on all partitions, some "Major". I had to run it on...

the instructions for G4's with two internal IDE drives is to put OS X on the "original" drive which I take to mean the "master" drive. I did what I'd outlined above and it wouldnt boot into X after the install. not sure where to go from here.

They are charging $30 for a system which won't install easily on their flagship machines, I know as I have a G4/450MP with similar problems to those mentioned above. If this "beta" software is so damn flaky, they should be paying us to debug the shit. My system is about as vanilla as you can...

put the formac card back in and boot up. if it works, shutdown and connect your monitor to the formac and reboot. might work!

I'm going to be putting OS X on my home machine (G4/450MP) but I want to put it on a separate drive. I'll probably be getting an IBM Deskstar 30GB or so. I want to retain my slower 20GB stock drive as my OS 9 drive, but i want to redesignate it as the slave and use the new IBM drive as master...

You have to put X on your master drive, not the slave. And it has to be installed in a partition which is at least partially in the first 8GB of that drive.

It's legit and has been used to install OSX on two other machines (B&W G3s), so shut the hell up. Oh, and we're a developer so we got the CD for free from Apple in case you were about to say "the license is only for one machine!". [Edited by AlanCE on 09-21-2000 at 04:34 PM]

This is exactly what I'm seeing on my two beiges (thread below)

Like DP4, this Beta will not install on either of our Beige G3s. Actually the problem is that neither of these machines will boot from the Beta installer CD. Here's the configurations of each: A: G3/266 desktop upgraded with an IBM 466MHz ZIF. Upgraded the ROMs to Rev.B. Added a Keyspan USB...

OSX looks to be a real RAM hog, so is Apple going to put 128MB RAM minimum in the little guys (iBook & iMac) when they start shipping with X? I don't see how Apple could do go with less, but Apple seems to like to give people half the RAM they really need ;)

I would think that Keyspan (or whoever makes your USB card) would have to write an OSX driver for their card. I'd be surprised if OSX looked for and had drivers to enable a PCI/USB card. Even though the drivers would be present in the classic environment, I doubt the classic environment...

Some people got it to work, but not I. My beige G3 (upgrade to IBM copper 466, RevB ROMS, fast 20GB HD) simply wouldn't boot into X. Hopefully Beta1 will behave better.

apple says 128MB minimum RAM requirement... yikes :)
