I used to be a real Norton fan, now their new OS X SystemWorks has set me running in the opposite direction.
I just shelled out $200 for Norton Systemworks 2.0 for OS X 10.1; I have no classic environment installed on my OS X 10.1.4
I first booted from the CD (before installing) and ran NDD. It found problems with all 37 thousand odd files on my HD: bad backup dates, bad creation/modification dates, etc. So I fixed it all. The strange thing is: when I boot from the CD the system clock is pushed ahead about 8 hours...but back in OS X the time is correct.
Now I have installed OS X Norton SystemWorks, and run LiveUpdate. When I run NDD either from OS X or when booted from the CD, it reports that the master and additional primary records in the B-Tree need to be fixed. I fix them, but the problem always appears (I believe its a bad creation or modification date error).
Now for some reason, I can not login to a shell unless its *booted* directly to console mode. Whether I try to login to a shell using Terminal.app or by logging in as ``>console`` at the login window, the shell quits immediately after displaying the welcome message as soon as the command prompt is displayed.
Whats going on here? Did I corrupt a file necessary for the shell, or some preferences or ``.plist``? If I use the Mac OS X 10.1 update CD to restore my system, I heard that the installer will detect defunct components and only replace those, leaving the rest of the system (minus downloaded updates) untouchedis this correct?
Thanks all, this is really a big problem. Im going to head back to my store tomorrow and try to return it, if that doesnt work you can believe Peter is going to be hearing from me I cant *believe* they said this version was released natively for 10.1 when they dont even include a defragmenter (the primary reason I bought it)! But thats another rant.
