Guys, I can't believe this, but it seems Joliet CDs (that is CDs burnt with windows long filenames) work on MacOS X flawlessly. If you tried to read them on MacOS 9, all that you'd get was names like THISSUC~1.KSA, while the file names in MacOS X are nice long 255 character ones! Yay, Mac...

I tried out the Darwin solution myself and it works nice. Of course, I'll switch to official tools once they come out..

Not the most useful feature, but if you want to see your window minimize in slow motion, hold shift while clicking on the minimize button. When you click on the window in the tray and hold shift, it works too.

Also, the plain console developer tools like cc, make & stuff can be installed by downloading the Darwin image from apple's site and then applying the macaddict patch (www.macaddict.com).

You could mount through DAVE in classic (I didn't check this, but it works for AppleShare). Samba and other stuff will not be supported until the dev tools come out in mid-October, since there is no safe way to compile them... Someone (me) might do the port using the publicly available...

Allright, these are filesystems installed on Mac OS X Beta: AppleShare (not working too well) cd9660.fs cddafs.fs (not too great-- audio CD) hfs.fs udf.fs ufs.fs ... I am sure Joliet and other stuff are going to be supported as soon as Apple's Dev. tools in October are out.

Man, I don't know about live window dragging:: do you have enough RAM? what's the problem? Live window dragging is really really fast on my iMac rev.A/233 (96 MB RAM).. Application launching used to suck, but since I opened more free disk space, it's much better. It still is slow. Yeah...

awesome! I'm writing that down, it's supposed to be impossible. I heard it's machine dependent. 9600s are 604 machines which are architecturally closest to G3s so I guess that's why it worked. Cool!

I think it's waiting in stockyards until October (when the developer stuff gets out)... I hope it doesn't go 0xDEADF00D :-)

I checked the memory occupation and kernel takes abour 16 megs, desktop takes about 16 megs and carbon app loader (LaunchCFMApp) takes around 30 megs of RAM... So, your hard drive will turn into a toast from all the VM accesses :-) Better upgrade your Mac soon.

Mine 32-bit color works. Try reporting that to Apple and send them your config, too.

Make sure your ATA CD-ROM from which you are doing the install is not slave. it has to be master. your HDD has to be master AND the partition you are installing it on should have logical sector 0 (the first partition on the drive). Yup, that means copying your first partition on your Maxtor to...

I had similar problems. Try putting the CD in and then closing the CD-ROM suddenly. Also, try making sure your CD is really clean. If everything fails, go to a friend who has a CD-burner and make a fresh copy for yourself, that should work.

Watch it before you try to install on systems with upgrade cards. The upgrade card manufacterers (Newer, etc.) said that for now OS X won't work on their systems, but they are working on it. Apple explicitly warned that models upgraded to G3/G4 do not (so far) work with OS X. The reason...

Maybe you have one of those sensitive CD-ROM readers like I do. What I did was make sure my MacOS X Beta CD is very clean, because that screwed me up on some other OS installs (when I was installing OS9).. Also: • make sure you are installing OS X on your first partition. • make sure your...

IT's a bit quirky. I don't think that's very stable now. I have problems even with standard audio out (you have to play some sound on internal speakers before turning external speakers on).

Check this out: TextEdit can open simpletext files and it preserves the fonts and styles in the files.

Yep, it's true. It has a screensaver. It's not very powerful, though. It draws an Apple logo and writes out your computer's name. Yes, that's it. Also there is no password-protection. But there are possibilities for adding Scr eenSaver modules, which is good.

QT is kind of slow -- Sorenson decoding is bad (slow). Stuff under classic runs cca. 13% slower (my benchmarks). Async device drivers for CD and HDD are awesome: the stuff from CD is loading and you get to click on menus and move windows..crazy.. SCSI people are going to be happy. Network...
