Yes, you should start from the CD to install, since there is no OS 9
installed yet, you can't use Classic to install it. It's like the chicken
and egg problem.

BTW, if you can (I guess it's too late but), try to install on a different
partition. In the event that you need to perform a clean install of OS X,
you won't have to re-install 9 if it is on a different partition/disk.

Robert:

I could be wrong here, but I thought that one must install OS 9 first 
(before the installation of OS X) and then install OS X. Then Classic 
should work.

Better wait for more informed listers to confirm this.

Installing OS 9 on Pismo

[DPrice]

I am running Jaguar but would like to have OS 9 as well to run a few 
applications. Can I install it alongside X?  When I put in the CD and 
click on install, i get a message that the Classic environment can't 
be found. Should I start it with the CD? Very confused here.

Did she try resetting the power manager? Did she try booting with
Command+Control+Power?

brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).

No, they are not. Only the hard drive and maybe the memory are compatible.

Re: WS Hinge replacement

[Andrew in Ann Arbor]

From: "Ryan Coleman" ryan(a-t)lemlists.com
Subject: WS Hinge replacement...om>
Does anyone have experience with pbparts.com in replacing the hinges with their steel 
supports? Does the $69.99 cost cover the hinge/clutch too?

Ryan
I had them do the repair on my Wallstreet (and add RAM) and would 
recommend them.
The sell the OEM hinges without installation, the aftermarket steel 
hinges that they sell are only available with installation.
I recall it was $70 for OEM hinges, $80 for the steel hinges installed.
I'd suggest spending the extra $10...

 I am thinking of just replacing them before they break, they seem to be losing 
tension... unless  
 you know how to fix this issue? 
  
 Please let me know. 


 And I we responded to with:  


 I've replaced mine with them.  Everything works really well now. 
  
This doesn't answer my question.

Can someone answer my question?

DiskWarrior problem

[Michel Treisman]

My hard disk is divided into four partitions. I am running on Mac OS X 
10.3.1.   when I run DW from my main partition it rebuilds the 
directories for the other partitions, but does not replace them because 
of "Mac OS service failure". I have tried to put it right with 
DiskUtility,  Repairing permissions, running DW on it from the CD.   
But still I get this message about service failure.

Any ideas what this might be?
Mike

Re: X Sleep

Go to Apple > System Preferences > Energy Saver > Show Details In

Also NOTE that you can set preferences for both the battery and the AC

Panther crashing help viewer

[Frank Cornew]

All is good now: Nuked the Virex Help file in Computer > Mac OS X > 
Library > Documentation > Help folder as indicated in 
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html, and all was good. 
Datadirect.help.help may also be a culprit. Took me some time to rout 
this link out of Macfixit or Apple support. Looks like a good 
troubleshooting source.

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.

Re: Can't SwapHardDriveInWallstreet

[Andrew Kershaw]

Just a question:  Have you tried zapping the PRAM?  The Wallstreet is 
probably looking for the startup disk that was originally the 2GB 
drive.  Removing it confused the 'book.  Zapping the PRAM will reset 
the startup drive info, and the Wallstreet will boot from whatever 
drive is bootable and connected.

Peace,
Drew
