Install notes....
Authored by: balthisar on Jun 06, '02 06:14:49AM

The 10.1.5 upgrade went beautifully on my iMac DV SE, and it doesn't look like anything is broken or different. Really, I notice NOTHING different. But, I'm up-to-date.

My PowerBook (Bronze) was a different story. On the restart after installation, the computer gave me the flashing checkmark at startup problem (a real nightmare from my PowerMac 6400 days). Worried, I booted up with a Norton CD, which discovered about 24,000 (NOT a typo) errors on my system partition. It fixed everything, and I rebooted successfully into 10.1.5. Again, nothing seems different, and I think my PowerBook has Rage Pro (all I'm missing is my DVD and OpenGL, Apple!)

I've not tried my iDisk on either of these machines yet. The horrible, horrible nature of iDisk (i.e., speed) has turned me off of its use. If it's significantly better (I'll try it), it'll come in handy again for bouncing files between home and work (ironically my iDisk works with very few problems under Windows 98).
