Re: .....Upgrading G3 memory
Some G3s, like the b/w tower, shipped with OS 8.6 Yeah, I'd like to get 8.6 on my old G3s but can't even with PostFacto4.

Anyway, how did you get 8.6 on your 450MHz G3?

Re: booting 20 G4 iMac to external drive
The suggestion I would make is from a unix standpoint. Open terminal(in Applications/Terminal) change to the directory containing your music folder. sudo cp - R (name of music folder) ~ sudo chmod -R 777 (name of music folder) That will give you access to the folder in your home directory on your mac book.

Re: booting 20 G4 iMac to external drive
My previous response was very cryptic, sorry about that. If you can tell me what the directory is that the music is in, I can give you better step by step instructions. Or how much space do you have free on your mac books hd? On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 4:10 PM, Robert Pangrazio rpangra...@gmail.comwrote: The suggestion I would make is from a unix standpoint.
