Yeah, I know about the archive install, but at the time I had only 300MB free on my hard drive.

Along those lines, Apple really should provide a way to boot OSX off the CD. It's sort of...

kernel ressurection 706 Views / 5 Replies  
I should have known better, but I applied the patch to disable sleep on lid close via kismac, and it appears to be incompatable with 10.2.5. How do I know this? Well, the system kernel panics during...

You can determine burn speed in several ways.

First by the time it takes to burn the disc. A 700MB disc should take 5 minutes to burn if full. If it takes 10 or 20 minutes, then it of course is...
