Question though to upgrade to ydl4 do i need os9? or is os 8.1 > good enough? I'm pretty sure that you need OS 9.0-9.2.2 to use XPostFacto. (OS X was released immediately after 9.2.2). I included a link to the download site that apparently got scrubbed from your post, though the link showed up in mine, so I'm not sure what happened. Here it is again:
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/ You can read about all the details there. It does appear to work quite well on the more recent machines like the beige G3, especially if you've added a faster processor. YMMV on the older machines like the 9600, etc. Personally, except as a sort of practical joke, or for a lark, I wouldn't bother installing OS X on an old machine like that. I'd do a minimal OS 9 install (because you have to have MacOS on an OldWorld machine to boot Linux) and then install YDL or Debian. OS X is horribly bloated; my dual G5 machine, which is still running 10.3.9, chokes regularly doing the simplest things like web browsing. Linux is so much faster and leaner that it's really quite unbelievable. -PRH _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
