Neat stuff, it would be cool to see it in action! Too bad the TV is analogue and not much good these days.(unless you have anolog cable)

I normally use Windows Internet Connection Sheiring(OS X might have something similar) when I want to get my old Macs on-line. I also have a wird connection at my workbench.(so I don't need a PC when I'm fixing up an old Mac)

A while ago(maybe a year ago) I was talking to a local book-store owner who was a former IT guy. We spoke about Zip drives(I bet a lot of people here remember those). I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago(to see if he had any SCSI Zip drives) and aqaured a 'PowerMac G4' tower that wasn't working...

Ok the 9th pin is power(https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/23687-mac-to-min-din-9/?view=getnewpost). PCs don't need power so it should be ignorable, also one source says this was apples initiation, so I should be able to use a Min-Din 8 to DB9 converter of the correct type.

Do most old Macs use Min-Din 8? What is the port called(LocalTalk?)

What adapter do I need to buy to hook my Mac up to my PC via the serial(localtalk) port? I recently discovered  that the port is a none-standard min-din 9. (and not the older mini-din)

The DVDs also come with "the lost soundtrack". Also if you want a DVD for Mac/Linux, there was a question posed about this on their Facebook page.

If you haven't played The Journeyman Project Pagasis Prime "back in the day", now is your chance! They are releasing it on DVD-ROM! Thanks to SkummVM the game will run on newer macs as well as older ones. A Windows and Linux release are coming next month. Check it out here...

On my XFCE desktop I have a "shade" button.(I think it uses the same icon as Mac OS) I can also left-clik and click "roll window down" or "roll window up".

Does anyone know if I can get the Linux installed on my Perfoma to change the resolution? I don't want too have to boot Mac OS all the time for this.

Hmm.. for someo reason I did not get any emails when people replayed to my question. I'll have to check some of those out. Oh I have Linux already but I wanted to figure out way of seeing hidden files from in the Mac OS.

Does anyone know of/have such a list? I have some old NICs, I want to see which ones work with the OS, so I can upgrade to 100BaseT(from 10BaseT).

Wow! I did not get an email when this thread was updated, let me try renaming the USB extenuations so they come up first.

Good work. Just to clefiy the theme I found was shipped with the OS, I did not make it. Also notice that it has a minimize button, there are also themes for Windows XP and BeOS(obscure Mutimeida OS, which I belive did work on PowerPC macs), not sure about Mac OS X, if you wnat your OS to look...

Look what I found in Fedora Core X64 XFCE spin: The theme is called Pallentiunin(not supsesingly)! All of the buttons do what you would expect you can't double click on a window tittle to compress it.(I hope I'm not mixing that up with some other UI) Ammways just thought I would share this.

How do I see hidden files in Class Mac OS?(I know you can from Linux)

Is they a way to change the order extensions run in? I would like it if my USB extension comes up before my Linux boot loader(BootX).

It does not look likeis a easy revory feature but I could recover by doing a minimal install like you said, install BootX(which I will burn to my "core" CD which also has all the drivers and updates I've download for my macine) and boot into the Debein installer in recovery, from they I can load...

What is the best way to backup an old Mac? Do you use the built-in imaging tool or some other tool? Will the built-in imaging tool backup my partiation drive too? What do you backup onto, Linux recognize my NTFS TB drive but Mac OS does not offcouse.(before I started I used the imaging tool and...

Well I don't think I want to run OS 9(very reouses intensive) on my Mac and OS 8.6 is the minimum for some of the drivers I use(like USB). So I'm a fan!
