Before I try to reply to anything, I must ask you for 2 things. I am finding it almost impossible to decode which bits of these emails you are writing, which are quotes and who wrote what.
[1] Please trim the original text in your replies. Leave only 1 line or 1 sentence of any point you are answering. [2] Place your comments *BELOW* the little bit of the original tex that you leave. Now... > Well, an install of OSX v. 1, "aqua", just like the description in an > old Mac magazine I found, when X was unleashed, worked (works) fine. [?] I don't understand. "Aqua" is the name of the OS X GUI, on any and all versions. It's not a version. Do you mean 10.1 or 10.0? > BTW: The machine won't shut down. It shuts down > when told to do so, bu after 10-15 minutes turns on again by itself. > And if it's acutally "off", the keyboard won't work. Then one has to > lean onto the rear of the case, and BONG! it wakes up (like normal). > Weird, huh? That sounds like a hardware defect. You should fix this before trying any software problems. First step would be to completely disassemble the Mac, remove every single component, clean everything, then carefully reassemble it, ensuiring that everything fits poroperly and no components are damaged. We can't help or work anything out on a flakey machine. > >[1] Have you tried removing *all* non-essential devices while > >installing?

I'd suggest keeping it as simple as possible. Small disk: 1 HFS+ partition, OS9. Big disk: first 8GB, 1 HFS+ partition, OS X. Rest, one big HFS+ data/apps partition. > Also I have 10.2. Do you think it might work to do an upgrade? I'll try... I think that on a Beige you will need XPostFacto for that. But sure, go for it. -- Liam Proven · http://livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=lproven AOL/AIM/iChat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · MSN/Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · Skype: liamproven · ICQ: 73187508 Gmail/Google Talk/Orkut: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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
