Hello everyone,

Last week I installed Milk 1.5 on 10.2.4 using ThemeChanger 0.5. Needless to say, it resulted with my machine not booting up (serves me right for using an old version of Milk, I know), and after 3-4 reinstalls and testing, I narrowed the problem down to the BootX resource Milk was installing.

I finally worked out that I could have fixed the bloody thing in the first place with the "bless" command, but too late for that now...Those are the risks associated with theming I suppose.

Just one question - when all works as planned, what was the BootX resource replacement supposed to do? Change the startup apple logo or something?

You can't eat all those hamburgers, you hear me you ridiculous man?

You are exactly right.

It's wierd, becuase I changed my BootX file back when 10.2.1 was current, and even thought I've updated it 3 times (to 10.2.4) my startup logo is still custom.
