Tim’s files cleared off the 15 GB hard drive. It took at least 30 minutes to dig up a 6′ cable, during which time I began downloading the 10.1.5 updater on our Beige G3. The 6100 and J700 share an old 4-port ADB MoniSwitch, but the 1m video cable wouldn’t quite reach the video port at the bottom of the C600 minitower on the bottom shelf of the equipment rack. (That’s another machine I’m hoping to get OS X on soon.) That meant moving a trio of monstrous, unused Quadra 950s from the network closet, where they sat on the shelf below the SuperMac J700 used for backup and the Power Mac 6100 dedicated to running as part of Team 6100. That meant finally setting up the old SuperMac C600 that my youngest son used before we got an iMac. The first step was to clear a half gig or so off my main partition. I quickly discovered that my OS X partition was now two revisions outdated.
10.1.5 ForwardĪfter finishing Low End Mac’s site update this morning, I began my regular visits to the rest of the Mac Web. Several readers suggested I remedy that with an inexpensive 20 GB hard drive. I simply didn’t have room on my TiBook’s internal 10 GB hard drive to move the OS X files. So I tried it whith my external FireWire drive – and my enclosure chose that day to die. Sigh.)Īnyhow, after my previous 10 Forward column, I received several emails suggesting that I use Carbon Copy Cloner to move everything from my OS X partition to another drive or partition. (For some reason, Yahoo’s applets won’t run on Mozilla, iCab, Opera, or OmniWeb. IE 5.1 is about equally flaky on both OS 9 and OS X, but I don’t have to restart the whole OS when IE quits while I’m running OS X. I’ve been using OS X on and off since then, mostly because it’s a much more stable way to play Euchre on Yahoo! Games.
CARBON COPY CLONER FOR MAC 9 INSTALL
2002 – It was nearly two months ago that I shared my frustration at trying to install the Mac OS X 10.1.4 update on the 2 GB partition I’d created for OS X when I bought my TiBook.
