You missed that LordCoven is running 10.2 while you're screenshot is from 10.3. System Profiler in 10.2 was pretty bunky at best.

smb:// is for connecting to Windows computers. afp:// is for connecting to other macs. In System Preferences > Sharing do you have personal file sharing turned on on the host computer?

Why did you decide to a clean install if your computer was working great? Are you previously from the windows world where you expect your computer to continually crash or something? ::ha:: They are on your Software Restore DVD.

What version of OSX are you using? Try holding down the apple and s keys together straight after the startup chime. When you get to a command line prompt type "fsck -y" (or "fsck -yf if using 10.3). If you get the message **FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED** keep typing the fsck command until it...

The ~ signifies that its the library at the user level, not the root level, i.e. go to Home > Library > Caches and you should see the mentioned file.

Basically if you have a firewire cable you can connect your iBook to your G4 using that and then startup in Target Disk Mode (I think from memory its apple-T at startup) then Insert your Install CD into your G4 and then select your iBook's hard drive and install.

1) Try repairing permissions 2) Try trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

No that's what I mean. You can only download Safari v1.0 off Apple's website but the 10.2.8 update changed Safari to v1.05. So all I'm saying is if you updated your System to 10.2.8 before you install Safari (Safari was not part of the OSX Install in Jaguar) Safari would probably be stuck on v1.0.

This seems very weird. I would ask the repair shop if there was any particular reason they did this (bad inode perhaps?).

One caveat is that I seem to remember that 10.2.8 also updated Safari so you might want to install Safari before 10.2.8
