[SOLVED] Any Way to Install Mesa 7.9 Early?

I'm a KDE user, and I've read that the new Mesa/Intel 7.9 supposedly fixed a few problems I find myself running into. I see that Mesa 7.9 is in testing, and I'm itching to try it out. I know that it will probably hit stable soon, but I'm really curious to see if it really does make KDE 4.5 work better.
Is there a way I can upgrade to Mesa 7.9 now without enabling all of testing? I know that's typically not recommended but in this case I want to see if it resolves my KDE problems.

I went ahead and took the plunge. I downloaded all the Mesa packages (and dependencies) and installed them. KDE now works A LOT better. The blur effect works, and it seems to be faster. A few of the kwin/OpenGL bugs remain, but the blur effect works so it appears that I didn't take this risk for no reward. The thumbnail previews are fixed with the new version of Mesa as well.
I'm not proud of the fact I mixed packages from testing, but some of the issues/lag with KDE and Mesa 7.8 was driving me crazy, and I wasn't sure how long it would be before Mesa 7.9 hits extra. When I update packages it complains that Mesa is newer than the repositories but I guess that is to be expected.
In the testing forum, I see some people are having problems with Mesa 7.9 so I wouldn't recommend anyone else do this. I guess I got lucky, Mesa 7.9 works well for me.
I am marking this solved for now. However, I look forward to the new Xorg as well as the new Intel driver, whenever they may hit extra. Hopefully those packages will solve the rest of my issues.

Any way to install Vista in 10.4 other than Boot Camp?

Since Boot Camp for Tiger went to the chopping block, is there any way to install Vista on my old-ish iMac? My brother's a gamer....

I don't think so.
The closest thing you can do would be getting VMware Fusion
It's a parallel so it runs right on your mac side
It's not quite as fast as native speed, but it's about 90%-95% and works really well for everything except gaming
There's a free beta out now, so you might wanna try that

Any way to install EFI 1.7 ?

Hello,
Is there really any way to install the updated EFI 1.7 in a Macbookpro Early 2008 ?
I'm sure that the controller is compatible with the SATA II and i really need an update of the EFI in my computer.
On the apple updated EFI page there is even NO Update for my computer model and no information about the EFI ! What's that ???
If someone found a solution for enabling the Sata II in that computer model; please let me know !
Thank you.

Sorry to have post in the wrong part of the forum.
But i whant to know why there is no Firmware update.
Today SSD are really faster than Hard drive and my computer model is limited by Software at 1.5Gb/s but from the chipset (Hardware) ICH8-M AHCI it is capable of 3Gb/s.
(i have screenshots to prove that this chipset can run at 3Gb/s if you dont trust me.)
So, when you say that apple said that it doesn't need an update, i really don't understand how they can say such thing today.
And because it is a "pro" machine wich cost me over 2K€ i think it really deserve, since the controller is capable of better performances.
And still, me and others custommer will really appreciate that update to run their computer faster.
Thank you for your understanding.

Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?

Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?
I have HDs installed in my optical bays.
I can copy the Win 7 install disk to a new freshly formatted HD if needed.
I am unable to install from my Firewire DVD.
It will not work.
I have a NTFS partition ready to go on an internal drive.
If there is a way to do this I would appreciate any help.
I really do not want to put my DVD back in if it can be avoided.
Thanks ... Ken

I've done an install off a hard drive, but I was already running Windows on a separate drive partition.
People have put DVD on flash memory, though that is 'maybe' and depends on booting from USB devices.
I routinely put OS X Install DVD on a firewire hard drive and installs quickly (to say nothing of booting in under 60 sec).

Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate. Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
Download CS6 products
You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.

Any way to install a Combo/DVD drive on an original Xserve G4?

There's got to be a way to swap out the CD-ROM only tray loading drive that comes with this unit. Anyone done it? I've been searching the web for some type of upgrade with no luck yet.
Thanks.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

[Solved] 'Best' way to install programs?

I was wondering what the arch Linux community thought the best way to install things is.
I was wondering if compiling things from source would be better in some cases then using Pacman, I'm sure I read that you prefer people to install from source, when I was reading the tex live wiki. Now I could have been wrong, read something wrong or just not understood.
I'm sure this makes the program faster, and makes me be able to install them to my every need, but then is updating and keeping them up to date problematic? Should I install OpenGL and mesa from source, and leave the rest like Firefox to Pacman?
I am new to Linux, and haven't compiled anything from source, and would like to know how to.

There are two good ways to install TeX Live. One is to use pacman. The other is to use the upstream installer.
Can you please show me what you are referring to?
I didn't know about the TeX having it's own installer, it's just as I read this when I was installing it last time: `Installing TeX Live manually honors the Arch Way in that it gives you much more control and lets you understand the process.`
After being told about PKGBUILD, this makes much more sense as I read it as compile from source, rather then alternate ways like this.
The 'install manually' is referring to using upstream's installer. It is not talking about compiling the binaries from source.
For details of the options offered by upstream, see http://www.tug.org/texlive/. If you have a reasonable network connection and are not planning to install on more than a couple of machines, the network installer is probably the best option. The 'quick installation' instructions are useful but you will want to refer to parts of the full installation documentation as well if doing this for the first time.
I recommend accepting upstream's defaults for the most part. In particular, I recommend using the 'full' installation scheme unless you are short of disk space.
I also recommend *not* installing as root. This is also in line with upstream's recommendation. What I did was create a new user and group (texlive:texlive). As root, I also created the directory /usr/local/texlive and made sure it was owned by the texlive user. Then I logged in as that user to install. This works well. Neither the installer nor later use of the utilities can touch your home directory or system files. There is no downside to this - it is no less convenient than having the installation owned by root. So you gain a security benefit for no cost. (Or minimal cost: you have to create a single user and group, make one new directory and chmod that directory appropriately.)
# adjust options as desired
useradd -d /usr/local/texlive -m -g texlive -r -s /bin/sh texlive
Set a password for the new account, and check ownership and permissions on the new directory:
drwxr-xr-x 7 texlive texlive 4.0K Meh 26 02:14 .
Then log in as texlive and install.

Is there any way to install age of empires 2 for mac onto macbook pro?

Your post somehow found its way to a little-viewed forum for Apple hardware made before 1998. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.

Any way to install Keynote without Pages etc? (iWork DVD)

I have the iWork DVD here. At the moment I only need keynote and I'm a little pressed for disk space these days, so I was wondering is there any way to isolate keynote and install it on its own without Pages and Numbers?
I looked through the install dialogue but there was no customize option, I tried exploring the mpkg but nothing jumps out as being specifically Keynote.
Can it be done?

You explored the mpkg with what, exactly?
You could just install the whole thing, then remove Pages and Numbers manually.
