bilditup1 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hey guys, now that the audio problem,(and everything else) is fixed I have two more general qs: 1. Is it possible to have platform=x86pc as the default, instead of having to type it in each time I start? 2. How do I change the disk permissions for the other hard disks. Right now they're read only, which is useless, and I'm at a loss. 3. How do I prevent the password prompt from coming up at startup? 4.Are the concretesurf forums down? 5.That's two more than I thought...I'm leaving to bed now.

ignorantcow Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 1. Edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Kernel mach_kernel Kernel Flags platform=x86pc Boot Graphics Yes 2. If it's NTFS, you'll only be able to read from it. 3. Go to Sys Prefs > Accounts > Auth (click the lock), then click Login Options. Check "automaticly login as". 4. Yes they are down. Damn.

bilditup1 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Aight, thanks...I'm gonna try it now...Is there any file system that can be both read and written by OSX and Windows? Or is it still a pipe dream?... EDIT: OK, other than FAT32, that POS?

eightballx Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 DVD Player.app doesnt even run on the Dev Kit, It is a problem with DVD Player itself, not on your end.

HTH -=eightballx=- <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Argh! Ah well...there's got to be a bunch of free software that does the same thing right? I know nothing about MacOS, not since I ditched my old Mac Performa that couldn't even run the software it came with...

HTH -=eightballx=- <{POST_SNAPBACK}> couldn't it be something with the missing video drivers, and thus missing video acceleration, overlay and similar stuff? larna Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/546-various-osx-qs/#findComment-3692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilditup1 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 New question: first, why the heck isn't there one thread, that's stickied, with all this useful info? Am I the only clueless one here? Second: The date and time is screwed up. I can change, but then its ahead a couple of hours in Windows...why does this happen, anything I could do?
