the installer works very well
Authored by: wealthychef on Dec 28, '01 01:59:47AM

Just wanted to comment that the installer handled my existing installation well: deleted the old Palm desktop software but saved my user folder. At the end it displayed this message:
"The Assistant found data files for the following users and copied them for use with this version of Palmâ„¢ Desktop software. The original files were not changed, but the word "old" was added to the "Users" folder.

Users from: (path to folder here)

The first time you open Palmâ„¢ Desktop software your data will be converted and ready to use. "

Nice.

Needs Classic on drive to install?
Authored by: tonyo on Dec 29, '01 11:43:27AM
After enduring the long download, finally got into installing and ran up against a problem. Upthread someone mentioned that the installer checks for a palm install in the classic environment. Well, no classic on this box - OS 10.1.2 only, on a UFS volume to boot. ;)

I can fire up the installer, but nothing happens - top shows Palm Desktop starting up and then quickly exiting. I hit the user feedback page at Palm with this info, no reply yet. But I have a feeing they're going to say - I need classic installed. anyone had any luck on OS X only boxes?

will post reply from palm asap. tonyo
