What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #4

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #2

5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…

I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…

Package install — #5

The .pkg"->ncu is new to me. I have used Packtype (and occasionally Packager) for years, but had never heard of the other utility. Thanks for the lead.

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #6

The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5

I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…

The name of the application you want is called, with the quote marks ".pkg"->NCU just as stated above, its drag and drop and works flawlessly. Its easily one of the greates…

Radeon 9600 in MDD FW800 G4? — #1

I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed. I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me. I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis card …

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #4

None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…

You probably need the packager or packtype utility, for which Google is your friend. Something happens in the download these days, even on MacOS9, which corrupts the file. Very si…

Don't know why you never saw that message before, but it's true - the beige G3s need to have OS X installed in the first 8GB of the drive. Re-partition the drive into two partitio…

Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…

Because it's easier just to nuke it, rather than weed out what ever's not PD, freeware, or shareware. :-/
