just an update: after running 9.2.2 and 10.2.8 for some time, X developed some oddites that were too much. as soon as it finished booting, it would shut off the backlight. no proble, as I just hit the brightness button, and it came back one. But, it also did this when waking up from sleep, and I couldnt turn it back on. I know the display was working, as a strong light showed what was on it, but this got annoying. It was not like this when I first installed it. And seeing as how Lowendmac did not accept my article for My Turn (I could upload it here if anyone wants to read it), I decided to wipe the drive, and install 9.2.2. What's the point of having the DVD kit if it does not work in OS X? So, when my pismo comes, I will swap the hard drives, as the pismo will be my main laptop, and the 6gb from it will go in the wallstreet. I will be turning the wallstreet into a media machine. DVD, MP3, videos, etc. it will run 9.2.2 fulltime on 64mb of ram. my Lucent Wavelan will provide internets, as it will be on another floor, far from my DSL modem. This will make a nice machine for it's purpose. But first, I may want to use it to play with xpostfacto, as I have never used it before.
