Looks like SystemStarter was replaced by launchd in Tiger along with a host of other services.

Yep. It appears that the old familar location - SystemStarter is not there anymore. I used EasyFind to search all files (invisible, inside of packages, etc.) for .pdf, .tif, .tiff,…

weird, I have mine still. I did an Update though

Sorry I posted false info

This doesn't work for me. Even when logged in as root I don't see that folder you mentioned. I also can't find it with EasyFind. What's the path?

That's cool. I've been up that long before, so I know how you feel. I've been digging a fit further and have found several differnt copies of the "Mac OS X" text and the Apple logo…

The location of the BootPanel.pdf file used by Panther has been changed significantly in Tiger. It is now located within the file: /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow It starts a…

Any idea how this can be changed??!!

The brute force aproach of overlaying the imbedded image with another on didn't work. The new image was a bit smaller so it fit but the program may try to use the entire space rat…

That sucks... It's strange that Apple chose now to make it so difficult to mod the boot panel.

Made it work. The new pdf must be exactly the same size (bytes) as the original. My new one was smaller so it was padded with nulls before the $EOF. \n's will also work. I don'…

Can you describe exactly how you made the edit? What tool did you use?

how do you crack the executible open to get at the .pdf? -Andrew

hex dump was used in this case but any number of other approaches will work. The key is be sure the new image is exactly the same size as the original image.

I used Photoshop and Resorcerer (HexEdit would do just fine). I'd be interested in better methods for reducing the size of a pdf image. Don't forget the progress bar: http://forum…

I just installed a Belkin 750VA UPS and tried to use the Bulldog software (downloaded the latest version 3.0.4). It disconnects before I even login, and I can't get it to see the U…

Did you try using the UPS without the Belkin driver? All but the very oldest versions of Mac OS X (as well as Mac OS 9.0.4 and later) have built-in support for USB UPSes. tooki

That's what I thought, but when I uninstalled the Belkin software, I didn't see any UPS options in System Prefs. Maybe there's something wrong with the UPS?

I just picked up a 1.42 / 256 / 80, with AE and BT. Upgraded right away to 512. What I don't get is why Apple introduced a machine with notebook class performance. Isn't that the…

Because it's Apple's lowest end machine? You were obviously expecting a $500 machine to beat Apple's laptops which are double and triple the price. It's not Apple's fault you expec…

The Mac mini is basically a monitorless iBook. It sounds like an iMac is what you wanted. That's not a mini. The mini has sold well because it fits a niche. It's great for a second…
