Re: OS installation without CD drive: SOS!

2003-02-27 Thread Andrew Kershaw
I tried to do this (more or less), using the 8.5 Disk Tools disk, which
aside from unadorned 7.5 (which won't boot the 5300) was the only one I had.
The network remained invisible. Where do you get the 7.5.3 and/or 7.6 Disk
Tools anyway? All I could find on Apple's site, aside from the unworkable
Network Access disk, was the abovementioned massive 19 part whole kit and
kaboodle 7.5.x.

Well, I don't know about the 7.6 disk tools image, but the 8.1 image 
definitely is on Apple's site:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/

Then you could download OT 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 in disk-image sized pieces 
(actually, each piece IS a disk image - alternatively, you can do the 
net install download and chunk it up yourself, but this is probably 
harder):
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Open_Transport/

This, if I remember correctly, was one option I had mentioned a while 
ago.  The other was for me to send you the minimal system 7.5.2 w/ 
PowerBook 5300 Enabler as a floppy image, then download OT 1.1.1 on 
top of that.  Same effect, though.

Have you tried Gamba's site at all?  I know he used to have links to 
Disk Tools images (and some rather illegitimate sources of system 7 
and OS 8).

Peace,
Drew

Amen!  Thanks to everyone who's tried to help me out of this mudhole, but
now maybe we should all go back to saving the world or churning out great
novels or whatever else it is we do.  I downloaded a 7.5.2 disk tools image
and after getting caught up with all the not-done chores that have
accumulated over the past two days will experiment with getting the network
up and running that way (just to see what will happen), but figure that SCSI

Drew  Victoria  k,

Thanks for trying to help me out of my self-created mess, but I decided the
coward's way out has a lot to be said for it and bought a dual-purpose SCSI
adapter on eBay.  It should get here in a few days, and the PB might as well
take a vacation till then.   Once the OS is installed I'll try to figure out
whether the partitioned drive actually does make VM work more smoothly:  it
was a nuisance and a half a couple of weeks ago when I was traveling and
using the PB constantly for email etc.  At home it's used almost entirely
for word processing so VM doesn't often become relevant.

Best, and thanks again,
Victoria

Re: OS installation without CD drive: SOS!

2003-02-26 Thread Andrew Kershaw
Victoria,

I'm sorry you couldn't make it work.  I still think you might be 
missing a piece here or there, though (like the OpenTransport 
extension itself - you definitely need that).  You probably don't 
need to worry about Appearance if the only app that complains about 
it is File Sharing (just don't use that control panel).

The SCSI adapter will come in handy, definitely.

Yes, you can do a system software install while it is in SCSI Disk 
Mode, contrary to popular belief.  Just do a custom install and pick 
all the PowerBook stuff (the hard way), or do a custom install - 
universal system install and then prune out the bits you don't need 
(the not-as-hard way).  But don't pick easy install as that WILL 
not install all the PowerBook relevant parts.

Or, you could do the really hard 19-part download on your 2nd Mac, 
mount the combined image, convert it with DiskCopy into 1 big fat 
image, segment it with DropStuff into floppy-sized chunks, copy each 
chunk to the empty space on your 5300, expand them with Stuffit 
Expander, mount the big fat disk image, and install away. ;-)  ... or 
not...  heh



Peace,
Drew

Couldn't you just copy the 'really big fat image' onto the 5300's hard drive
whilst in SCSI disk mode (seeing as you now have the proper cable)? Then
install the OS with the 5300 booting up of a floppy disk?

That way, you can just do the good 'ol easy install...

Well, yes.  But I thought she wanted to install 8.x (8.5?) and not 
7.5.3 and 7.5.5 update.  So that would be counter productive.

The whole problem was getting her 5300 working with a LAN (ethernet 
or LocalTalk) and installing 8.5 over the network.  She needed a 
system on the 5300 that would allow her to at least boot and run 
AppleTalk.  Yes, the system 7.5 19-part download would be overkill. 
I was just saying...

Anyway, this is all moot since she will be getting a SCSI adapter in 
a couple days.

Certainly she could copy the relevant 8.5 installer files to the 5300 
while in disk mode, reboot, and do the easy install, but to me this 
seems like more work than actually doing a custom install while in 
SCSI disk mode.  Plus, while in SCSI disk mode, the installer will 
run a little more quickly (being as it will be running on a 7600, 
right?) than if she were doing all the work on the 100MHz cacheless 
603e.

Drew

Now Drew, your reservations had _nothing_ to do with installing a new OS 
on her blank HD. You just thought the idea of VM on a separate partition 
was silly. G

OK Victoria, as I'm at least partly responsible for your predicament, 
here're some solutions:

Idea #1) If you want to go ahead and do a full floppy install:

ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/mac/mirrors/apple/support/PowerBook/PB_5300_
SW_Update/

These are actual floppy images and will apparently install a clean OS 
7.5.2, read this: PB_5300_SW_Update.txt

Idea #2) Use the Network SW Installer . . . :

ftp://ftp.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-Nort
h_American/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Network_Software_Installer/Z
M-NSI_1.5.1.sea.bin

to install Appletalk onto a Disk Tools floppy (use the custom install 
option to install _just_ AT.) I tried the 7.5.3 and 7.6 Disk Tools 2 
disks, discard the usual utility pair to make enough room. You'll need to 
add the Chooser and the Appleshare Chooser extension (those bits from the 
NAD seem to work OK) to access your AS network volumes. I'm browsing 
volumes on my G3 DT under 9.2.2 from my 5300 as I type this. There 
_should_ be enough room to install a enet PC card driver along with basic 
enet support, but I've not tested that yet.

The end result of the above procedure provided me with a close 
approximation of the good ol' Network Access Disk, but for PBs 
5300/190/2300. I also constructed a similar disk for PB3400, but haven't 
tested it yet.

Here's a weird thing, the 3400 Disk Tools floppy has v7.5.3 System and 
7.5.5 Finder, plus Minimal PowerBook 3400 Enabler. There's also an 
extension called Insomnia, which I presume keeps the 'Book from falling 
asleep?

hth,

Dan K

PS: I'm not sure, but I think that's Neener, neener, neener . . .

Re: OS installation without CD drive: SOS!

2003-02-25 Thread Andrew Kershaw
Just to make sure I've got a good picture of what you've got installed:

Finder (OS 8.5)
System (OS 8.5)

Chooser

OpenTransport bitspieces:
AppleTalk control panel, TCP/IP control panel*, AppleShare extension, 
Open Transport, Open Transport ASLM Modules, OpenTpt Serial 
Arbitrator, OpenTptAppleTalkLib, OpenTptInternetLib*, 
OpenTransportLib, File Sharing control panel*

Other Extensions:
Serial (Built-in), Shared Library Manager*, Shared Library Manager 
PPC*, EtherTalk Phase 2**

Farallon drivers

* You probably don't really need these items
** I have no idea if _I_ need this item, but it's installed on my 
5300.  You probably don't need it though

AppearanceLib means that you need to install the Appearance Manager.
Install the Appearance extension, maybe also the Appearance control 
panel.  Newer apps (apparently File Sharing is in this category) rely 
on the Appearance Manager to draw themselves correctly.  I _THINK_ 
the Appearance extension was rolled into the system on OS 8.5+ but 
you might be able to grab the extension from 8.1 for this... 
Otherwise, I dunno.  My 8.6 doesn't have this extension.

Anyway, make sure you've got all those OT bits installed.  You don't 
have to worry about File Sharing or any TCP/IP stuff, since you won't 
be sharing your 5300 or using anything but AppleTalk.  Instead, 
you'll be connecting to the remote machine through your 5300's 
chooser.

If this all fails, you could try with the 8.1 disk tools disk, using 
OT 1.1.x bits and pieces, and going from there...

Good luck!

Tee hee, I never thought that this was a good idea! ;-)  Needer 
needer needer! Told you so.  Heh...

I'll give you whatever help I can!

Drew

Looking through his crystal ball at my HD, Drew surmised:

 Just to make sure I've got a good picture of what you've got installed:
 
 Finder (OS 8.5)
 System (OS 8.5)
 
 Chooser

¥es on those

 OpenTransport bitspieces:
 AppleTalk control panel, TCP/IP control panel*, AppleShare extension,
 Open Transport, Open Transport ASLM Modules, OpenTpt Serial
 Arbitrator, OpenTptAppleTalkLib, OpenTptInternetLib*,
 OpenTransportLib, File Sharing control panel*

AppleTalk yes, TCP/IP yes (but won't need it for a serial connection and it
won't open anyway); AppleShare yes (but won't open in Chooser); Open
Transport as a separate entity no, and I can't find it listed that way,
either in my functioning 8.6 system folder or in the 8.5 installation tome;
Open Transport ASLM ditto, rest of the openTpt stuff yes,  File Sharing
control panel yes (but it still demands AppearanceLib even though by now
I've installed the Appearance CP (the only Appearance file in the Tome).

 Other Extensions:
 Serial (Built-in), Shared Library Manager*, Shared Library Manager
 PPC*, EtherTalk Phase 2**

All these extensions yes except the EtherTalk (having given up on making the
ethernet connection work and settling for LocalTalk on the serial cable (if
only!)
 
 Farallon drivers

They're GV drivers and not yet installed for the reason given above plus
their bombing out the computer.


 
 Tee hee, I never thought that this was a good idea! ;-)  Needer
 needer needer! Told you so.  Heh...

Okay, rub it in!  *I* remember you were agin it even if nobody else's memory
goes back that far (more than a month, geologic time by internet standards)!

A possibility:  could the refusal of all the network-connected stuff be due
to the basic Open Transport being normally built into OS 8.5, but missing in
this case because it's such a stripped-down system?  Perhaps that's the
problem with Appearance too:  the extension is supposed to be in the system
file itself but is not?  BTW I also installed the System Resources file
from the installation tome on the CD -- makes no difference.


And Victoria -- thanks for the info on installing via SCSI disk mode, but I
don't have one of those cables either.  But getting one would certainly be
the cheapest way out of this morass if there's no way to install over a
network.

With fervent gratitude (even though nothing's working),
