I have used Xpostfacto 2.0 to install my copy of Jaguar. Should I keep up with the updates or just use version 2. Any advantages? Disadvantages? Lee |

2.2.4 (October 21, 2002) Fixes a problem with version 2.2.3 that could cause a kernel panic when installing Mac OS X 10.2. 2.2.3 (October 7, 2002) * Fixes a couple of problems with Darwin 6. Will now recognize the Darwin 6 Install CD as an installer. Also, will automatically boot in verbose mode when booting Darwin. * Will now find the correct Open Firmware name for the Sonnet ATA/100 card with the 2.3.5 firmware applied. Users report that the boot process still fails, though, so further investigation is required. 2.2.2 (September 12, 2002) * Fixes the problem starting Classic in Mac OS X 10.2. Remember to reinstall the extensions in order to apply the fix. (You can do this from within Mac OS X now by launching XPostFacto). * Uses a little less NVRAM when installing. 2.2.1 (September 2, 2002) * Updated the custom BootX to use the new boot graphic from Mac OS X 10.2. This looks a little odd when used with Mac OS X 10.0 or 10.1, but it works OK. * Added a "debug" preference to show panic text, rather than the new panic dialog. * Fixed the problem with the SCSI bus on unsupported Powerbooks. 2.2 (August 23, 2002) The changes since version 2.2b17 are as follows: * Fixes problem with booting from external SCSI drives in Mac OS X 10.0. * Only allows the "install" button to be used with the Install CD (not "restart"). And here is a summary of the changes since version 2.11 (the last non-beta version): * Support for Mac OS X 10.2 (aka Jaguar). * Partial support for the original Powerbook G3, the 2400, and the 3400. (There are still some significant limitations). * Support for the Beige G3s. * Support for some additional PowerComputing models. * Support for leaving onboard video disconnected when using a video card. * Support for UltraTek IDE cards (along with OWC's firmware update). * The "throttle" feature, which slows down the CPU in the earliest part of the boot process, and helps booting some SCSI devices when using a CPU upgrade card. * No longer panics on first reboot after clean install. * Better documentation. This is in the download history If it applys to you get the new one if not go with what works. |
