See my user tip on freeing space:

And also you can use backup software to backup your data to external media and only keep that which you presently need on your internal hard drive, as my FAQ explains:

Kit requirements for bare bones HDCAM edit

I asked about upgrading my system a few weeks back and everyone was very helpful, but having gone away and done some research I simply can't afford a lot of the kit that was suggested. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the editor on a serious budget. I'm used to working with HDV and frankly this is all a bit scary ..
I've got a short film shot on HDCAM that I need to edit. I don't need to be able to grade it myself so I'm hoping this means I can make do with my existing 19 inch monitor and not worry about buying video cards, 23 inch cinema displays and matrox mxo's etc.
If I use prores to capture the HDCAM footage how much visual quality would I lose? and would it mean I could buy something like the Caldigit S2VR Duo to work from rather than a massive raid drive that would set me back thousands of pounds?
I'm presuming id need to buy a pci card as well and i'll rent an hd deck for the capture itself.
Have I missed anything out? And does this actually sound like a workable idea?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't really think you can have a bare bones system and still be able to work with HDCAM. One thing you might want to consider is having footage captured for you at a post facility and placed onto a portable drive. Perhaps the CalDigit S2VR as Shane suggested, or a G-RAID. If you are in LA there are several facilities that can do this including West Post Digital in Santa Monica and Alpha Dogs in Burbank.
When you are done editing, go back to the post facility and have them do your layoffs for you. Working with HDCAM is a bit more complicated than working with HDV. And a bit more expensive as well.

Brand new hard drive. Can I re-install, bare-bones, from my USB Passport drive?

My CD drive doesn't seem to work to reistall OSX and restore from there. Is it possible to restore, bare-bones, from my passport drive?

Hi:
Sure you should be able to do that.
Why not save your money and install W7 on the existing hard drive?
Use the advanced options on the W7 install screen to delete all partitions, create and format a new partition.
Here is the link to the W7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1 ISO file...
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)
latest and greatest
X17-58997.iso
Then you can either burn the ISO file to a DVD using the burn ISO file menu option on your DVD burning program. Burn at the slowest speed you can or...
Use the Microsoft Windows USB/DVD Download Tool to transfer the ISO file to a 4 GB USB Flash drive or DVD.
The tool will also make the media bootable.

Then go to your PC's support page to download the drivers and available software you need.

How do I install Tiger on a Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini which came with Leopard, I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and am very unhappy with this OS. Can and if so how do I install Tiger?
I have tried inserting the Tiger install disc and everything freezes up!

Phooey! I was afraid of that.
I'm afraid my wife and I are getting old and set in our ways. The loss of the "Home" folder in he Dock, the new appearance of Safari and Google, and many of the "new" features expanded our learning curve beyond it's limits. My wife is legally blind and uses a 37" display with magnification and voice-over. Navigating a new screen has been very difficult. Besides, I can not find a feature in Leopard or Snow Leopard that makes a change worthwhile.
I may have to dig out her eMac!

How do I install Tiger without DVD drive?

How do I install Tiger without DVD drive on a Powerbook?
My Powerbook had some problems recently, the HDD and the Superdrive where gone. I replaced the HD but can not get Tiger installed here because the DVD drive isn't working. I boot right now from a FW HD. Any Ideas how to install the OS on the internal drive?
Any ideas would be apreciated.

Re: Using DVD drive in iMac G4 for iMac G3 in Target Disk Mode-->won't read DVD

I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

How can I get Tiger to install (boot) on 2007 Intel Mini ?

{continued from deleted thread]
Just bought brand new MB138LLA (labeled mid-2007) last week ('full warranty", (allegedly) "dual bootable")
Was purchased solely to be able to dual boot - either in Tiger or Leopard
Supposedly this model is capable of booting in 10.4.10 - IF had (received) the correct install disk.
Came with 2 install disks for 10.5.4 (2008)
w/ 10.5.4 pre-installed (updated online to 10.5.7 as of 8/3/09)
Disk 1 is labeled
AHT version 3A152
Disk version 1.1
27691-6304-A
Disk 2 labeled
disk version 1.0
2Z691-6249-A
Neither will launch/load from C-Boot, but does appear after 'normal' boot
I do not see any copy/memtion of Tiger (10.4.10) in the optional installation folder
How can I install Tiger on this 2007-model machine?
Is there a ANY version of Tiger (10.4.10 I'm told) that I can get to install on this machine
(then update online later)
per
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411updateintel.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html

Just talked with Apple Support - AGAIN
Finally got some one who understood that this particular model WAS supposed to ship with 10.4.10 (as I had determined PRIOR to the selection/purchase). Not only are they sending a CPU (serial number) specific install set for 10.4.10 but volutarially included expedited shipping at no charge (I didn't ask, suppose their way of an apology for the past week of nightmares and BOGUS information). Now that's the Apple "Support" I recall from decades past.
SO, YES, I can (and will) boot from Tiger on this CPU - and can do so either from an Internal drive partition or from GTP format Firewire RAID array.
All those claiming that such a feat is an impossibly have not researched the specifics of this model thoroughly.
Problem solved (in theory, waiting on disks)

Backing up a bare-bone install questions

So I've set up a bare-bone install (no Desktop Environment, absolute minimum packages) which I thought about backing it up by using a LiveCD distro called Parted Magic. From the terminal I copied all the files from / to an "arch" folder:
cp -a /media/sdb1/* /media/sdb3/arch
Now if I fuck something up or just want a clean slate I could, theoretically, just copy everything back by running "cp -a /media/sdb3/arch/* /media/sdb1" and start from scratch, right ? Is there any downside to this ? Also, is it me or does the bare-bone install take up under 200 MB ?
Thanks.

Relying on what should work in theory wrt backups is bad juju. Try it out. Try to install it on another computer. I'm not sure it will work, your fstab may need the UUIDs changed.

Keychain - bare bones set up - what should it look like

Hello
Sorry for asking such a boring question but:
WHAT DOES A BARE-BONES Keychain SETUP LOOK LIKE?
I am the single user of the machine and thus its administrator. I understand that a login keychain is set up on login, but I also have a keychain called my username. Do I need this? All I want is the absolute basic setup - number of keychains, locked - yes or no? etc etc
I want to store a single password - my internet mail access password. Should this be stored in my login keychain or another one (eg: my username keychain).
Long time Mac user, but never had to deal with this stuff until 10.4.9 came to town...
Cheers
PowerBook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1Gb RAM + Lacie External Firewire HD

Glad to help clarify for you. The 10.4.9 update isn't at fault for keychain problems. If users have keychain problems they need to look elsewhere than a system update.
Everyone who posts on these forums has a problem, but that doesn't mean the problem is widespread, universal, or due to some update (although that is possible in some cases.) The other side of the story are the thousands of users who have no problems and don't post on these forums for that reason.
I've been using Mac OS since 1986 and Mac OS X since it's original beta release. So far I've never had a keychain problem of any kind on any Mac I've used. If you maintain your system you shouldn't have any problems either.
Passwords and keychains have been a part of OS X always. You can't create a user account without them. The keychain, however, is a relatively transparent component with which the user rarely if ever has to deal.
And, although I've never used Windows all that much, I know it well enough to know that it, too, uses passwords and wallets (their word for keychains.) They are a fact of life on any multi-user operating system.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

Bare bones server distro?

I want to have the most bare bones system possible, hopefully being able to have it on a usbkey => I want to have apache 2.x, php 5.x, mysql 4.x, phpMyAdmin, [some sort of cpanel like program?], and a simple gui. I want to have the smallest overhead possible. Whats the best way to accomplish this?

1. Is there a good cpanel alternative which is freeware?
2. If I built myself a bare system with a decent mobo, cpu, ram - would I have a decent server? Or would self-serving be really crappy in terms of uptime, speed, etc.

If I bought Leopard and it failed how can I get Tiger back?

I am thinking of getting Leopard but people seem to have problems getting it running. I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo made last September, It's in great condition and I have an external drive, I'm wondering what will happen if Leopard screws up and I want to get Tiger back, since it came pre-installed on my iMac I don't have a disk, same goes for my iLife 06 applications. I have backed them up onto my external harddrive and I think that should work. How would I get Tiger (and possibly other applications) back if Leopard screws them up. Remember I have no discs, they came pre-installed.
Thanks a lot,
Michael

I wonder under what circumstances you bought your iMac that you don't have the original disks?
Did you look in the box?

ISM-SRE-300-K9= bare bones loading Cisco Unity Express

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not I can load Cisco Unity Express on to a Bare Bones ISM-SRE-300-K9=. Does one need to buy it pre-configured from Factory, or does the Non Rehostable 2-Port License automatically install with the download from cisco.com
These are the conditions of the scenario:
1) ISM-SRE-300-K9= is bare bones from distribution
2) The unit has a Service Contract (SAU) purchased and attached
3) I will be installing the 5-Pack Mailbox License
4) I will be installing CUE 8.6 on to the unit from cisco.com download
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi Swati,
Even if there are other posts, you may check this link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/interfaces/software/feature/guide/ism-sm-sre.html
Also CUE is not supprted on the Embedded Service Module, so you have to install de CUE module on ISM 0/0 or 0/1
-HTH-

Bare bones to host virtualbox

can i just install x or do i also need gnome/kde to support VB? i only need the bare minimum to get gui. i haven't used Arch since ~.4/.5 many many years ago.... i did try the search function for 'virtualbox' to no avail. suggestions on size partitions, especially with regard to swap?

Really just need X, display manager and Qt to run virtualbox gui. I think a bare bones installation with just X, something small like openbox/fluxbox dm and Qt is under ~1Gb, maybe 700mb or so last time I installed fresh.

When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods
Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.
