hey there,

I'm using OS X 10.3.9 on my G4. Since upgrading to this from my ultra stable Jaguar system I've had a few problems.

1) When I logo out or put to sleep it doesnt want to wake up. I end up having to press the restart button

2) for some weird reason it thinks its got no disk space left on the start up disk sometimes. I have 2 HD installed, the original scsi one which is only about 17GB and an additional bigger one. I have my operating system & applications on the SCSI and all my documents etc in the other. There should be around 3.6 GB free on the start up disk which there usually is but sometimes for no reason (no big apps working / files open) it'll say there is no space left and will show only 300mb or so spare. When I restart the 3.6GB are back!?

I'm gonna upgrade to tiger when I can but in the meantime anyone know how I can stabilise the beast?

Cheers
adi

It sounds like your hard disk really is running out of space. As memory is paged out to disk, free space can shrink by a few gigs. This would also explain why things aren't working right. Clear up some space and run a disk repair program and you'll probably be a lot better off.

oh yeah forgot to mention, I thought when it first started doing it it was something to do with Entourage, (as it always was open too), so now i close that down and log out so no apps are running, still does the falling asleep and not waking up thing tho.

Mmmm, does Panther really need that much space just to process? to make room I would have to move some applications to my slave HD, is this okay or do they need to be in the OS X apps folder?

Can I move my microsoft user data folder (entourage) to my slave? Thats a couple of GB so that'd definately help. If so how do I do that with out loosing the link between the app and the database?
