Re: Advice Needed - Wallstreet upgrade
I have installed 10.3 on my Wallstreet with the help of XPostFacto and it worked well after working out two hitches that were known at the time. One was related to the colors on the screen (a lot of purple :-)) and was solved by removing a specific file (don't remember exactly but the issue was well documented). The other was the lack of built-in support for the ejection of cardbus cards (solved by downloading a kext that someone had prepared). After that, it has been working strong ever since and is now running 10.3.9 (using just the regular Software Update feature for all updates since the initial install). Thanks Luis It's beginning to seem like making a bootable copy with Xpostfacto on my G4 with the Panther DVD, then cloning it to the Wallstreet with CarbonCopyCloner may be possible, though fraught with peril... maybe I'm better off buying the Panther cd without iLife. -- Frank Dutra -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Advice Needed - Wallstreet upgrade
Luis, This is a little off topic so if you could respond off list, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about this install?

Advice Needed - Wallstreet upgrade
Hi All, new to this list... seems like a great place. My dilemma is with a partially restored series 11 (266) Wallstreet. Last year I put in a 40 gb HD, extra ram (256 total), a USB (ADS 2.0 turbo) card, and an 802.11b Wireless Lan card, running OS 9.2.2 and !0.2. Worked great for my purposes at that time but I know find myself traveling more and hoping to use it in the field for capturing video/audio files from a quick cam or other USB camera. I've also hit the OS 10.2.8 bump on my desktop and plan to upgrade soon to 10.3, and was hoping to keep the 2 machines synched. I'm also still fairly dependent on Classic for my older Apps, though I'd be willing to dual boot on the laptop if need be. Is anyone running !0.3 daily with a Wallstreet? Will I need the extra ram (expensive low profile) ? Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my G4 desktop (dual 450 gigabit ethernet) without any problems (missing drivers/control panels)? I also need a new pram battery (expensive) and new main batteries (expensive) and when I recently upgraded to 10.2.8, I lost my USB connectivity to my external OWC Elite HD and also took a speed hit. (might this be the dead pram battery?) Is it worth the expense of upgrading further or should I bite the bullet and forget the whole idea of 10.3, synching, and video capture on this venerable old machine? (love torturing Windows users by telling them it's a 1998 model!) Thanks in advance, Frank -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my G4 desktop (dual 450 gigabit ethernet) without any problems (missing drivers/control panels)? I use 10.3.9 on my wallstreet. It works quite well. More RAM is better, and when running X, I recommend maxing out the RAM. Mad Dog -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
