Being able to install Tiger on this iBook would solve everything, since my 10.4 iMac has a perfectly functioning Installer. This is an old iBook which only has a CD drive, so the full DVD I also have for 10.4 can't be run (and Apple's trade-your-DVD-for-CDs promotion is over).
I only have the first CD for 10.3, and installed only the essential items. So installation of the dongle package comes first. Once I open the package (which cost Y9800 or almost $80), I can't return it. I've got the router, but don't want to open it until I'm sure that the wireless dongle will actually work. Yeah, if it doesn't go grey by itself, I'll be pulling it out before this is over! - View image here:. Heian, you really, really don't like having hair do you? Or perhaps you just want it to be grey? - View image here: -Īs dhaveconfig said, reinstall, and as grahamb said, get a router. (But if I do get the dongle installed, and the big iMac next to it has AirPort running, the iBook should pick up the signal, right?) There's only one hard disk! Maybe I have to specify a target also?
Unfortunately, it couldn't find the volume. This Installer, like the OSX one, demands that you be the superuser when you open packages, so I had to use the command "sudo installer -pkg. A hassle whe you want to reach your own user "home".) My iBook has a JIS keyboard, which doesn't have a tilde key next to the 1, and it looks like tildes have to be manually pasted in. (This Terminal application always thinks you've got an ASCII keyboard even if you don't. Then I renamed my HD and computer so that there are no spaces in their names, just to avoid having to use escape characters when typing paths in the command line. I made several copies of the package, in different locations, because the Unix naming structure is different from what you would think from just using OSX and I want to make sure I can get at the file. My Utilities folder has nothing in it so there's no Terminal application.ĭownloaded a substitute, GTerm, and discovered that the command-line installer still exists independently of the OSX application (hadn't known that). The system folder won't let me put them in, so I thought I'd have another go at the package, but with the Terminal this time. The dongle's application, "PCI", runs fine, but there are still two kernel extensions that need to be placed in the system folder. The Unpkg application recommended by Brandon did a fine job, pulling out some usable files. Well installing this dongle is getting to be a nightmare but I'm not about to give up!
