arbitrarycode Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hello, I have a Powerbook G3 wallstreet, and the only thing that I can get to boot on it is OS 10.2. I have tried bootX to install linux, messing with openfirmware to install netbsd, various builds of darwin and GNU/Darwin. What I want to do is to run this old notebook lid down as a low power web server here at the house. Therefore it needs to be stripped of uneccessary things and made as secure as possible. Is it possible to remove aqua in order to revert this back to darwin, and just have it boot a bash prompt? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakyMac Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Why would you want to get rid of Aqua anyway? And I highly doubt it, from what i understand, Aqua is Built-in in to Mac OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
