Update to this thread: I put the HD from the external Firewire case into my Mac. Purrs like a kitten, works fine. Guess the IDE/FW bridge (or whatever the correct term is) somehow blew, so I guess it's not an OS issue although I cannot rule that possibility out for certain. Chris

Hi folks, got a lovely problem: Got a Firewire HD (80 Gig) on my G4/933, and since yesterday, it refuses to work. Here's what happens: It I hotplug it (turn it on when the computer is already running), nothing happens -- no icon, no entry in /dev/, nothing. Of course, fsck does not find it...

Hi Chenley, well of course I _could_ do that, but I have the linux box running all the time (file server, web service, router, ...), and connecting the printer to the Mac would mean I have to have two computers running all of the time which I don't want to do. I have lpd running on Linux...

Uuhhm, thanks for your replies, but that wasn't exactly what my question was aimed at. I want to leave the printer connected to the Linux box ONLY because it serves other Linux clients. I just wanted to know if any of you have experience setting up REMOTE printing (over the network) on their...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, will run f*ck -y -- however, I doubt that this will help since it happened with a fresh system. BTW: Any journaling file systems out yet? Would be mighty cool. Chris

Hi, I recently had to learn that "compatible" does in fact not mean what one might guess.... I have a digital camera, a D30 to be exact that I use quite a lot. To streamline my workflow, I bought a PowerMac G4/933. I wanted to use iPhoto to import my pictures, my camera model was on the...

Hi there, a month back I got myself a G4/933, nice machine. I'd come from a Linux/Unix environment and I noticed some oddities about OSX' file system that I do not feel to happy about. 1) After chaning the owner of a directory from the shell (using "chown ...", I never saw a change in the...
