My current daily driver, a nice PowerBook 15" a1138 I found a few months ago in Japan.

Here is my project G5 which was a recycle rescue. It went from a dual 2.5 WC (leaking) to dual 2.0 air-cooled to now single 2.0 with BGA issues.

I don't know how but my new 12" PowerBook feels faster than even my DLSD 15" PB and that one is 1.67 and 2GB DDR2 RAM.

The previous owner of my Indigo iBook Clamshell installed Mac OS X 10.1 + 9.2.1 at some point and never updated, so after deleting .AppleSetupDone last night here I am looking at this OS in all its Aqua pinstriped glory.

It appears the last time someone used this was in 2007, and they tried to install Firefox 2.0.0.11 (although I believe that requires 10.2 or later).

What does deleting .AppleSetupDone do and where is the file? I have never heard of doing this.

Removing .AppleSetupDone makes a Mac believe it hasn't passed through the initial setup yet, so upon reboot the welcome video + Setup Assistant appears - allowing a new administrator account to be made yet leaving all existing user accounts intact.

What does deleting .AppleSetupDone do and where is the file? I have never heard of doing this.

Mac OS X checks for this file with every boot; it is created by the first-time setup and so by deleting it you can trick the OS into rerunning the first-time setup, even if there are other accounts or files already present.

If the admin account has a password left by the previous owner (which this one did), this is actually the quickest/easiest way to solve that, as the first-time setup will create a fresh admin account for you. I do not know if this still works in modern versions of MacOS, but it does work through Snow Leopard.

Tricking your Mac into creating a new user account

1. Power on or restart your Mac (should work for any Mac OS X system).
2. At the chime (or grey screen if your chime is turned off), hold down Command+S on your keyboard to enter single-user mode.
3. This step is optional, but it’s a good idea because it checks the consistency of the hard disk before moving on. At the prompt, type fsck -fy and press Enter/Return. Wait for the checks to complete before going to the next step.
4. Type mount -uw / and press Enter.
5. Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press Enter.
6. Type shutdown -h now and press Enter

Updated my top-of-the-line Power Mac G4 Sawtooth to Mac OS 9.0.4. Decided against going any higher or installing Mac OS X as I want to keep it period-correct in both hardware and software.

Here is my iMac G4, i am using 10.4. nVidia FX5200 is horrible, Leopard is very sluggish.

This is my recently acquired 700mgz iMac G4.

FourThree broken Power Mac G4s became one: my "Not-Quicksilver", 1.6 GHz Sonnet G4 upgrade, Radeon 9800 Pro (PC, flashed for Mac):

I had the cube all apart again to test a CPU, and with some encouragement from LightBulbFun I bumped the voltage on the 7448 and tried 2GHz. It booted up fine and seems stable. I need to boot into 10.4.8 so I can watch the temperatures in CPU Director, but it looks good so far:

Oh how I wish the dual 7448s weren't so rare...

 

[LightBulbFun]

@flyrod wow! that must be blisteringly fast, (I think it would be THE fastest cube?) needs more ram tho what does that geekbench? GB2.2.0 (or 2.2.7 if your in leopard)

@redheeler Oh How I wish any type of 7448 was not so rare (even just finding the 7448 chips alone is pretty much a dead end... not without paying out the nose for em)
