You could make a live CD/custom startup cd. I've heard of this being done. There are instructions for doing this somewhere out on the internet. Maybe its only for making DVD startups...I don't know...but you should be able to make a startup CD, since the installers for OS X seem to be fine starting from CD.
How "down" is OS X? You might think of partitioning the drive, so that you have an emergency boot volume, like OS 9, or whatever, if the system is having booting trouble. I have a system at home, that really needs to boot into OS 9, before it goes into OS X, while another has no trouble at all starting right up into OS X everytime. Both are PM9500's...I think the one with the trouble has bad PRAM/battery... I think it all depends on what you mean when you say it is going down. I can think of all sorts of issues, but I don't really know what you mean... -Lars -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
