Hi all,

Here is a mail that I received from Chris: it can interest all of them who want to run HC with Tiger but, unfortunately, don't have two drives.

Début du message réexpédié :

I posted this about three weeks ago but the recent
round of questions suggests that it would be good to
cover again.

HC and Reports work find under Tiger if you put the HC
app on a non startup partition. Since most of us don't
have a spare patition sitting around, the best thing
to do is to setup a virtual disk.

It turns out that the OSX Disk Utility makes this
quite easy. Open it up and click the icon titled New
Image. Pick a size that will hold your HC folder
contents and make sure it is of the read/write type.
Click create and you will get two things 1) a .DMG
file in the location you specified and 2) the virtual
disk mounted to your desktop. What is very surprising
to me is that from this point forward, OSX will keep
the two synchronized.

Put your HC folder contents over there and launch your
app. It should work well aside from any path specific
stuff that broke by changing the location of HC.

Now drag the virtual disk to the trash. Once it is
gone, double-click on your DMG file and the virutal
disk will reappear and voila everything you just
trashed should be there.

Bonus, you can drag the HC app to your dock and then
trash the virtual disk and your dock icon will still
work. It will remount the virtual disk and launch HC
without question.

Note that only the HC app, and therfore Home, have to
be on the virtual disk. You can put all your other
stacks wherever you like.


Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
