Hi. I need to backup my system settings, application settings (like rules and signatures for Mail.app and stuff), and installed applications. That's it. That's all I want to backup, so that if I need to reinstall Mac OS X, i can restore the backup over. I don't want to backup my entire HD...

Hi. I'm getting an iPod for myself (yeah, my first iPod), and I was wondering if I really need to buy a FireWire cable with it? I mean I already have a FireWire cable that came with my Sony mini-DV camera (sony calls it iLink, though). Will that cable connect to the iPod dock? Or do I have...

Right. I'm on Ubuntu... GNOME desktop

Hey, thanks for the reply! Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, but there was 'khar khar' in my phone line due to rain (yep, Karachi isn't designed for rains at all! :P) Turns out there was a problem with my system clock :P The date was set to 1905 :P Now it's working SMOOOOTH! Now I just need to...

Hey wow! That worked! Thanks! Yes I know you posted a link to a /InstallOnOldWorldMacs (right?), but that link was broken :) Anyway... being the linux newbie that I am, I'm not done with my problems :P When I log into the ubuntu system, I get told that Nautilus couldn't start, and panel...

Whoo! I got hold of Ubuntu for PowerPC! Which is strange, really, because I'm the only person at my university who uses a Mac, and the total population of mac users in my city is well within 1%. A friend had ordered a PowerPC version of Ubuntu, since he knew I used a PowerPC based system...

Oh! So, I've been doing it all wrong then! :P Okay, I'll start dowloading Debian. Considering I have dial-up, expect it any minute now! :D Thanks for the wonderful help! I'll update when I'm done!

Hi. There was no powerpc kernel. there was a 601 kernel, a power4 kernel, and this other one labelled all. The 'all' version didn't work. Lemme focus on the FC4 thing now. in a folder lablelled 'ppc', I've got 4 folders: 'chrp', 'iSeries', 'mac', 'mac64' Each of these contains a kernel file...

Yes, fryke, that IS a tempting use of the Wallstreet, but as nixgeek pointed out, I just want to use up-to-date software :) Well, nixgeek, I tried that, but it still won't budge! Yellow dog installer won't fire up, FC4's will, but just as it's about to start copying files, it says "could not...

Lol! It's like BootX just doesn't wanna play :) After I copied the extension into the correct folder, i get this message at startup: "Could not load a suitable kernel file" :(

Wow, nixgeek! That was the most helpful help ever! Really! But there still remains one little problem. None of the linux distros I have will install. FC4 quit on me JUST before it began copying files, giving me an error something about memory allocation. Mandriva, YDL 2 and YDL 3 quitbefore the...

A while ago, I tried installing YDL 2 on my G3 Wallstreet. Didn't work, so I gave up, and my Wallstreet's been eating dust since. Now I wanna put it to _some_ sorta use! I just want to get _any_ flavor of linux working on the book! Could anyone please suggest a distro, and provide a...

Oh sorry I forgot to mention, I already tried that too :) Which means that Safari still isn't working for me...

I just upgraded to Tiger (I made a clean install, dont wory :) ), and ever since that, I have been unable to start up Safari! I click on Safari, and that black 'opening' arrow appears below the icon in the dock, then it just disappears, and asks me if I want to reopen Safari. I'm having to use...

Wow! That's great help! Thanks evreyone, especially nixgeek and EDCC! I've had experience installing YDL2 before with BootX, but I just wanted to find out if I could skip all that and directly install FC4! Guess that's not gonna happen... I'm stuck with a wasted partition :) Thanks for the...

Hi. I've got a Wallstreet PowerBook G3 233MHz. I wanted to install Fedora Core 4 on it, just to get my hands clean with it. How do I boot the first CD :P I've currently got OS 8.1 running on the PB. Thanks in advance!

Hello. What software can I use to convert a .ASF video to a 3GP video? Thanks in advance!

No dude! I can't even begin to tell you how basic my knowlege of networks is :)

Zeroconf huh? Yeah I'll try that :P
