Re: airport sharing under OS9?
It's been some time since I did this (so someone please correct me if I am wrong), but if I recall correctly, you can create a network from the Airport tool. There is a Software Base Station button that will give you the options. The problem was that it doesn't actually bridge your Ethernet and airport connections. It just sets itself up as a gateway, so all of your airport enabled computers will need to have the IP set manually. HTH Kris -Original Message- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hal Sent: November 27, 2003 12:35 AM To: G-Books Subject: airport sharing under OS9? Does anyone know if you can use internet sharing to share an airport network connection under OS( the way that you can under OSX? What I want to do is use the Airport card in the Powerbook to get it on the network, then bridge that network to a wired ethernet computer by connecting the 2. Under OSX it's simple, I'm just wondering if it works under OS9. Any info is appreciated. -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo HD question
I'm surprised I didn't see that when I searched OWC's site. That's a good deal. Thanks, Chris.

Panther crashing help viewer
As a recent convert to OSX, thought that I'd made it over the hump. Now that everything is installed on the Pismo (good thing I installed that 60gig travelstar), software is upgraded, less and less classic calls, I've noticed that the help viewer crashes everytime upon launch. Ick. Must have overreached with a haxie or some bit of software, as I assume that the latest rev of Panther doesn't do this. Have started to uninstall much of the add on stuff, but no success. Any equivalent to booting with extensions off in the manner of OS9? Miss conflict catcher or even extensions manager at this point. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

DiskWarrior And
I'm using an iBook 900MHz OSX purchased new in June '03. Just ran newly purchased DiskWarrior. It showed 28% fragmentation of the hard drive. Is this normal for five months' use? I had the hard drive directory rebuilt. How often should I use the program as basic maintenance? Any other utility that complements DW and that I should also use for maintenance? Considering that I never before used anything but the free version of TechTool and desktop rebuilding (lack of funds and third ownership Powerbooks), perhaps it's no wonder that I lost HDs? Can I expect miracle service with HDs using disc maintenance utilities? I hope so. Thanks, Tivo -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I think you can logon with shift key down, but that will only prevent startup items to launch. Another thing you could do is to create a dummy account, just for the purpose of troubleshooting. After you created that account, login and see if Help Viewer is still crashing. It hasn't crashed a single time for me on my Pismo since I had a pre-release version of Panther installed, so there must something with your account. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Evil Empire n.: [from Ronald Reagan's famous characterization of the communist Soviet Union] Formerly IBM,now Microsoft.

It does a bit more than that, but I still doubt it would help since this isn't a startup issue. Still, wouldn't hurt. Since Jaguar, holding down the shift key starts the computer in Safe Boot mode. quote it forces a directory check of the startup (boot) volume. It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions). It runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/Startup Items and /System/Library/Startup items - and different than login items). Taken together, these changes can work around issues caused by software or directory damage on the startup volume. /quote See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Cheers - Steve K. -- You must be the change you wish to see in the world -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
