Classicin asennus Tigeriin 10.2 Software Restorelta

[MS]

Ohessa ohjeet miten saa Classicin (OS9) asennettua Tigeriin (10.4) Software Restorelta, joka tuli OS X 10.2 toimitettujen koneiden mukana. Tämä edellyttää sitä, että asensi Tiger puhtaalta pöydältä eli "Erase and Install" optiolla.

This post applies to anyone installing Tiger using either the "Erase and Install" option, or installing after formatting (erasing) the startup drive manually using Disk Utility. The issue discussed in this post will specifically affect users with a "Mirror Drive Door" model Powermac G4, but it may affect others.

Your computer shipped from Apple with "Software Restore" disks, usually a 4 disk set. Disk #1 is used to install the "Software Restore" application to /Applications/Utilities, and this application can then be run to extract and install various "Additional software" packages. Included in these packages are bundled applications (eg. Snaps Pro, PixelEnhance, FaxSTF, GraphicConverter, etc.), but most importantly, OS 9!!

Tiger appears to have "broken" Software Restore's ability (in at least some versions) to "see" the Software Restore disk(s), thereby preventing the reinstallation of OS 9 and any software that was bundled with your computer.

A workaround is described below....

First, it will be necessary to make all "hidden" files visible in the Finder. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. At the prompt, paste in the following text:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles '1'

then press <RETURN>. Now, press Option-Apple-Esc to open a "Force Quit" dialogue and restart your Finder.

Insert your "Software Restore" disk #1. When it has mounted on your Desktop, double-click on its icon to open it. Find the folder named ".images" on the disk and open this folder. You will see a number of "disk image" files inside this folder. Drag these disk image files to your Desktop. Repeat this procedure with the remaining disks in your Software Restore set.

You may now make all "hidden" files invisible again. Once again open Terminal and paste in the following text:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFIles '0'

then Press <RETURN>. Quit Terminal, then restart your Finder as before.

If this [all "hidden" files invisible again] doesn't work, there could be a problem with your Finder's preference file. One other possibility would be to download and run TinkerTool, which will allow you to do the same from the comfort of the GUI; it will even restart the Finder for you! If even this doesn't work, trash your Finder's preference file: /Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

The disk images you now have on your Desktop can be double-clicked to mount them, thereby allowing you to simply copy the files they contain to the appropriate places. Each disk image contains files arranged into a hierarchy of directories as they should exist on your startup disk. For example, you might find an application in an "Applications" folder (drag this application to your HD's "Applications" folder), another folder inside an "Application Support" folder (drag this folder to the "Application Support" folder in the "Library" folder on your HD), and a ".plist" file inside a "Preferences" folder (drag this file to your "Preferences" folder inside your HOME "Library" folder). OS 9 can be "installed" by simply dragging the OS 9 System Folder, the OS 9 Applications Folder, and the "Desktop Folder" to the root of your HD, then opening System Preferences>Startup Disk.
