Re: newbie laptop questions
Actually, my XPF installation wouldn't work from OS9, but it worked just fine from 10.2.8. I have a Cisco Wireless Card that works great from my card slot. I don't know about anything else.

Re: newbie laptop questions
So I wonder what it is that is causing my problems. I'm running 10.2.8, I have tried it from both OS9 and OSX, starting XPF, inserting the 10.3 CD and selecting it to restart with. It reboots, starts the installation, after about the second screen, where I'm clicking continue, I get the message that my machine is not compatible. Any ideas? I posted this on the unsupported X mailing list, but didn't really get any responses, other than telling me to register and post in the forums. I don't want to pay for the registration if it's not going to work. Rad... John Slavin wrote: Actually, my XPF installation wouldn't work from OS9, but it worked just fine from 10.2.8.

newbie laptop questions
I just got my first mac laptop (wallstreet) and I have some questions. 1. It had OS X 10.2.6 on it when i got it and I want to upgrade to the latest version. I did software update, but 10.2.8 is the highest it seems to go, which is on it now. I have 10.3 on a CD, but it says it can't be installed when i try to run it off the CD. Will software update not allow it to go from 10.2.8 to 10.3? I have XPostFacto (latest version, got it last night), but not sure I'm using it right. 2. How does 'drag-lock' work for the trackpad? 3. Is there no way to be able to right-click with the trackpad? Thanks Rad... -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I have XPostFacto (latest version, got it last night), but not sure I'm using it right. Officially, 10.3 requires built-in USB ports on the Macintosh you want to install it on. Your Wallstreet doesn't have built-in USB ports. So, you'll need to use XPostFacto, but I've never used it myself. 2. How does 'drag-lock' work for the trackpad? You double-click a moveable object (like a window title bar) and you hold the second click down for a few seconds. Usually, that will lock the drag. You tap the trackpad again to release. 3. Is there no way to be able to right-click with the trackpad? Hold down the Control key when clicking. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'.

Re: newbie laptop questions
That's AWESOME! What a great app, it's exactly what I was looking for and more. This should come one every mac laptop as built-in functionality. Thanks. Rad...
