Darwine on ppc

hi...
I lately found out about a software named "Darwine" or "WineBottle" (I think the latter is how it is called now) that apparently allows windows apps to run in Macs.
Apparently it works only with Intel based Macs. Since I have an iBook G4 with Mac OS X (10.4.11) with a PPC processor, that should settle it. However, there is this, I quote:"Qemu-darwin-user allows Mac OS X/Intel Applications to run on Mac OS X/PowerPC. It's Rosetta inversed and thus is also refered as Attesor"(source: http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX)....So I was thinking I could download the "WineBottle" app, use "Qemu-darwin-user" (from what I've read it needs some sort of "building" to do) to make it work on my PPC and through this process run the .exe file.
It seems like a long shot and since it requires use of the Terminal, which I am by no means familiar with, I want to ask if I should bother with it and of course if it is even going to work as I imagine it might do?
I want to apologize if I am not making any sense and thank you beforehand for any help.

Dah! You're right. Oops.
I do seem to remember there was one other option - VirtualPC and which runs on PPC Macs only?
No longer sold.
And wasn't very good anyway from what I've heard.
Well, was a Microsoft product in the end, so what to expect...

IMac G3 ? How can I install BSD darwin PPC 8.0.1 ?

I've got an old used 2nd hand or 3rd hand malfunctioning iMac,

"has forgotten the password"
From the information supplied, I'd guess that the machine has been loaded with OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). You need the 10.2 installation disc to reset the password.
It is not wise to buy any Mac without all the original installation discs, and any discs required for a later OS which may have been installed.
It won't boot from a USB stick or USB drive. It may be possible to boot from a firewire external drive running OS X 10.2 or later, or in firewire target mode from another OS X Mac. It won't boot from an external DVD drive.
That model originally shipped with OS9 and either OS X 10.0 or 10.1 (neither of which was worth installing).
<350 MHz / 512 K / L2 64 MB / 6 GB / 24 CD / 56k>
Presumably this is the specification printed on the underside of the casing, in which case 6GB is the original HD size. The model did later ship with up to 40GB however, and it's certainly possible that it may have been replaced.
One caveat; some 6GB models could only be booted from a 6GB or smaller partition, so any upgrade would have to be partitioned accordingly.
If you get hold of a retail OS X disc 10.2 or later (but not 10.5), BSD is available from the installer as an optional installation (with the main OS). It's unlikely the previous owner would have installed it however.
Can't help you much further than that I'm afraid, but I'm sure there'll be another bus along in a minute

IMac G4 PPC, what kind of memory do I need?

I've looked everywhere, but I haven't found anything that screams "This is clearly the exact thing you need, doofus".
I own an iMac G4 PPC.
Here are the specs:
Machine Name:          iMac
Machine Model:          PowerMac6,1
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
Memory:          256 MB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.5.9f1
Serial Number:          W8******NHX
And if this is important, here:
System Version:          Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)
Kernel Version:          Darwin 8.11.0
And this: (Memory)
DIMM1/J20:
Size:          256 MB
Type:          DDR SDRAM
Speed:          PC2100U-25330
Status:          OK
(The only other slot is "DIMM0/J22", and all it says is "Empty". I'm just assuming that's the one I'm trying to get memory for.)
For the past since forever, I've been trying to find some memory I can add to it, because it's showing its age. I love this computer, and I want to get as much out of it as I can.
The thing is, I can't seem to find the specific type of memory for it anywhere. And if I have, I sure don't know if it's the right kind.
I need the biggest possible memory I can put in the slot on the bottom, the one that apparently goes in the "DIMM0/J22" slot, which is the only one out of two that says "empty".
I've tried a few sites like Crucial, which have a system scanner to help pinpoint your compatibility, but my system doesn't support that application and refuses to run it.
What kind of memory goes into the user-accessible slot on my machine?
Can someone please help me out? I'm sick and tired of that beach ball.
<Edited By Host>

Click here for some; you need a 200-pin SO-DIMM.

Running PPC applications on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just tried running a PPC file on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but it obviously didn't work.
I am just receiving this error message:
"-bash: ./Unreal Tournament OS X: cannot execute binary file"
That's what file says: "Unreal Tournament OS X: header for PowerPC PEF executable"
In either way I would have excepted Rosetta to step in... what could be wrong?
Best regards,
Mihai

Works for me.
% scp mypowerpcmac:/bin/ls .
% ./ls -l ./ls
-r-xr-xr-x 1 me me 32460 Feb 3 15:44 ./ls
% file ./ls
./ls: Mach-O executable ppc
% uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 23:08:29 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~3/RELEASE_I386
Did you install Rosetta? It is an optional install in Snow Leopard.

I have G5 PPC with OSX 10.4.11 and java

I have 1.6 GHz G5 PPC with OSX 10.4.11, 9.2.2 and java. It connects to internet thru DSL modem and Ethernet router. I can no longer get blue user login screen after OSX loading; black command line screen asks for Darwin login. I have used "Applejack" auto for repair, but still no normal blue user login screen. What happened? How to fix?
Primary 80 GB drive nearly full except about 16 GB remaining. I have replaced DVD drive, but cannot readily open drive to use OSX disk or Disk Warrior 4 for further repair.
Seems like it can't find users on startup disk.

Hmmm..
If that doesn't work, you're going to have to use a sticky finger to slide the drive door down, then once that's open, a bit of tape to hold it, then look on the front of the drive and there *should* be a pinhole somewhere (most likely down at the bottom of the opening, below the tray it will be hard to see) that you can put a paperclip into to pop the tray open a bit - then you *carefully* pull it out the rest of the way.
It WILL have a bit of resistance to the pulling, but as long as you go slow and steady, it'll be fine. The little servo-motor that opens the door has a high gear-ratio so it's stiff.
Good luck!
Deb.
Edit to add: Are you accessing this site wth another Mac? If so and it has a FireWire port on it, you can always start the G5 in Target Disk Mode and run the Disk Warrior from the working machine and fix it remotely. Is this a possibility?

No Instant Client 10.2 for Mac PPC?

I'll skip the rant about there not being an Oracle Instant Client for Intel Mac since that appears to have been covered in a previous thread.
But where's the 10.2 instant client for PPC Macs? All other platforms (at least the ones I care about) have 10.2 but Mac is stuck at 10.1. When I link against the 10.1 library, I get the following unresolved externals:
__ZTIN6oracle4occi12SQLExceptionE
__ZTIN6oracle4occi7PObjectE
Please tell me there's a 10.2 available for Mac, even if it's only PPC. Maybe somebody just forgot to update the links on the download site?

hi there. i've got (almost) the same problem on my mac ppc (darwin kernel version 8.10.0) with g++ 4.0.0, but i only have an unresolved __ZTIN6oracle4occi12SQLExceptionE.
there is a workaround for the SQLException problem. as SQLException extends std::exception you can use
try {
catch(std::exception& exception) {
int oraCode(exception.getErrorCode());
std::string oraMessage(exception.getMessage());
// do whatever you like with oraCode and oraMessage
instead of
try {
catch(oracle::occi::SQLException& exception) {
int oraCode(exception.getErrorCode());
std::string oraMessage(exception.getMessage());
// do whatever you like with oraCode and oraMessage
throughout your code, which will not require
__ZTIN6oracle4occi12SQLExceptionE to be resolved (or generated).
as i mentioned before, i haven't come across the PObject problem. what compiler are you using (i suppose g++ 4.0.0)? what are your compiler and linker flags?
best wishes from hamburg, matt

Tiger 10.4.11 PPC - NetInfo Manager Machines No Longer Working??

In Tiger 10.4.11 (PPC) I'm trying to use NetInfo Manager to redirect a domain name to the local 127.0.0.1 IP.
I duplicate an existing entry and edit it to read:
ip_address: 127.0.0.1
name: TEST GOOGLE BLOCK
serves: www.google.com
I save the new entry and restart the computer.
But I can still go to www.google.com.
If instead I edit the hosts file, the redirect to 127.0.0.1 works properly.
NetInfo Manager used to work for me in some older Tiger minor version on this same computer. I haven't done any major Darwin hacking or this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6640199
Not sure if that adds hosts support, or replaces NetInfo Manager with hosts BTW?
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, BDAqua.
I tried Safe Boot, I tried Repair Permissions, restarted and tried resetting the printing system. Nothing worked. One thing, though, is that before the printer setup automatically chose hp color laserjet 1.4, version 1.4.5 briefly flashed in the menu list. I have no idea where it found that, but maybe the problem is that 1.4 is not the correct driver. There is no hp color laserjet 3550 in the list of drivers, and I have searched in vain for hp color laserjet 2.0. on both my Tiger system hd and on my Leopard system hd. But 2.0 has got to be on the Leopard hd because it works when I boot in Leopard. This mystery is getting very frustrating. But there has to be a way to fix it because it used to work.

PPC G5-Quad panic kernel woes

My G5-Quad had a kernel panic this afternoon.
Two attempts to reboot normally eventually ended in the gray box with the well-known multilingual instructions to restart the machine, obvious signs of further kernel panics.
Two attempts at running applejack in safe mode (Command S) were aborted by the machine shortly after it started checking stuff with a message like "Release the PPC, we are hanging here".
Now it doesn't even boot in safe mode. On an occasional try, a white screen with some small black text but does not accept any commands.
Then it just wont boot. It sounds normal for a while, then the fans and pump spring into heavy action.
I opened the optical drive with the straightened heavy paper clip (only way to open it) and put the AHT test, tried holding the Option key, but the same behavior persists: no signal sent to the monitor, then it sounds normal for a while, then the fans and pump spring into heavy action again.
The first time I got the kernel panel, I was able to copy the crash report, but now I can't even get at it.
I'm working on my Mac Pro Quad right now.
I hadn't had any trouble whatsoever with the PPC G5-Quad in so long, that I've practically forgotten all about troubleshooting a PPC (getting more "senior" by the day, with brain damage caused by a series of mini strokes; diabetic type 2)
Any ideas as to what to do next? I do need Classic and a PPC CPU to run a lot of irreplaceable and indispensable software that does not run on Intel machines.
If I can't fix this machine, I'll probably be looking for an exact replica of this (July, 2006) PPC G5-Quad. Hope to move RAM and cards, etc.
2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; intrusive Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.

When looking through my Dropbox, I was delighted to find that I had the good sense to save there the two crash report from my earliest kernel panic yesterday and one of the subsequent ones, before I could no longer boot.
Here is the first one:

Kernel panic 10.5.8 PPC G5

---2 of the 3 sets of RAM sticks are by Crucial and the other 1GB sticks shipped with the G5 PPC. I ran the current RAM configuration for a month or more successfully before the crashes started happening again. Before that, I ran 6 GB RAM of mixed manufacture for years before crashes began.
--I just replaced the system drive a month ago
--New optical drive a few months before that.
--New backup drive this year, as well. WD Studio for idiots. Running Time Machine on it. It's not a great choice for the job, in fact very inconvenient. With much effort, did an entire restore and reinstall just before the new year.
--Does an underlying 'state' of kernel panic result in programs and hardware behaving strangely? The two new crashes since all of these new parts were installed seem to emerge either from troubleshooting installation and operation of new peripherals and software or from running multiple operations at the same time. But I'm not running more operations at the same time than I ever did with only 6 GB RAM, for example
--what am I actually supposed to do to make kernel panic GO AWAY. i don't really understand the document that says to download a debugging kit. Just download and 'use it'?

Ah! good to know.
However, here is indeed a new one:

Arch-Darwin a possibility?

I had a rather peculiar thought recently. With the emergence of Arch-BSD, and the existence of Arch-Linux and Arch-HURD, I was thinking maybe someone could start Arch-Darwin? Apple does have Darwin open sourced and there exists a pretty neat third party Darwin distribution called PureDarwin I tested on Virtual Box. I was thinking with some tweaks from the source download on http://opensource.apple.com, a possible Arch-Darwin distribution is a safe bet?
It's just my two cents.

GNU's stuff should run on Darwin. At least, gcc etc. were provided by Apple or could be compiled from source (even on PPC Macs). Similarly for the autoconfig stuff.
No idea about pacman. C isn't a problem. Depends on what the C is doing, I guess.
systemd, I would assume not unless it runs on the BSDs, in which case it should be possible, in theory I suppose.
I'm not terribly clear why somebody would want to do this, except to see if it can be done, but that's a different question.
EDIT: Note that if Apple are now releasing something which you can actually compile into a working system, they have come a long way since their earlier releases when Darwin was unusable without binary blobs (I don't mean firmware) and didn't actually tend to work even with them.

HP LaserJet 1320n printing problems -upgrading PPC iMac -10.3.9 to 10.5.4

I just upgraded my girlfriend's iMac (lampshade 1.25GHz PPC G4 - 1 gig RAM - 160gig HD - SuperDrive) from 10.3.9 to 10.5.4, did all the usual prep work before and after - upgrade went smoothly even her Citrix client for logging into work works great!
Only hassle is can't get her HP LaserJet 1320n to work - was working just fine before.
* btw one of the updates installed was the HP Printer Driver 1.1
* the 1320n is on a Ethernet network (hooked up to the iMac via a 5 port hub - Asante I think..)
* set up in Print and Fax goes fine - Drivers are there -sets up via Bonjour - printer status shows green - idle before sending a print job
* send a print job unfortunately gets you a loop of " Connecting " for several minutes, then the job fails and it sez will retry. never works.
* tried multiple times (restarted the system - reset the printer - same result). Launching Utility opens a browser window with a URL - never connects, that fails as well
* I seem to remember when I set this up 3 years ago having to go via the browser to set up some settings - of course I can't remember what I did - HP's pathetic website is not any help and their support is gone fishing for the weekend
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Nigel
ps printing out the test page via the Go button on the 1320 (pressed for 5 seconds) doesn't get the expected config settings page but a one page quasi - marketing test page with no config info on it....aargh - I hate HP!

Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

If you format in Guid for Intel Macs, Apple partition for PPC Macs for Boot drives, then why do my PPC Hard drives Boot in my 2007 Mac Pro, what gives?

I recently purchased a 2007 Mac Pro for a song, swapped the CPU's for octo chipsets and proceeded to wait for new Hdd's in the mail. I was told the Hard drives in my old G5 would not be bootable unless they're in Guid format. Disc Utility confirmed to use the specific maps as well and yet all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch, although a few none universal apps do not work. So what am I missing, does it really matter which Apple partion map to choose from or is this a fluke?...

all of my 2006 PPC Power Mac G5 Hard drives boot in my MP without a hitch
Yes, and what version of Mac OS are they booting?
>> They will boot the OS that is on them, but not a later one.

Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

Hi everyone
I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
Any help would be very very welcome.

I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:
Office for Mac forums
They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

Mac OS 10.4. 11 Combo update (PPC) bug?

Installed the update above after software update check. On restart the Imac stops witth a black screen and the fan going at full speed. The "on" light is lit.
I have done the following actions:
1. started from the installer that came with the computer (Mac s 10.3)
repaired permissions. repaired disk.
2. Installed system 10.3 again.Works fine.
trashed many files to make 18 GB free space on the hard disk.
3. Upgraded to Tiger 10.4. Works fine.
4. repaired permissons again.
5 . Did another Software update download and install of the Combo update.
6. Result: black screen, fan going at full, "on " light on.
Any good advice ?

Good advice?
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Leopard Installation Problem on PPC G5

Hi there....any help on this one appreciated.
I have a Dual 2Gig PPC G5 with 4.5 gigs RAM that was running (and still is) running 10.4.11 fine. Attempting to upgrade to Leopard from a proper retail Leopard install.
Symptom: Either booting with c key down or running the upgrade from the OS results in a message saying "the installation could not be completed - if it continues to occur, the boot log may help you to diagnose the problem" - there are buttons to save and print the boot log and to shut down and restart...BUT the computer shuts itself down before I have a chance to act on any of this. Behind it I see an open boot log with a bunch of the word "crash" on it!!!!!
Things I have tried:
Resetting PRAM
Removed third party PCIe cards
Removed third party RAM
I've repaired permissions on the startup disk
I am fully backed up
I've tried it from a different user account.
I've disabled login items
What more can I do aside from a complete clean install of 10.4 which may help? Trouble is I dont want to do that as it would take a day to get all my third party stuff re-installed.
Any thoughts and help much appreciated
cheers
Tony

Thanks MacJack,
but...I didnt attempt this before as I dont think it works...
from that doc you linked to:
"Tip: FireWire Target Disk Mode works on internal ATA drives only. Target Disk Mode only connects to the master ATA drive on the Ultra ATA bus. It will not connect to Slave ATA, ATAPI or SCSI drives."
So, as far as I understand it, if I booted up my macbook pro, say, with the Leopard install disk in it in Target Disk Mode - the g5 would only see the Macbook Pro's internal ATA as opposed to both that and the DVD or am I missing something? Sorry, not at that machine at the moment so I can't try it!
