XPostFacto für Mac

I have used XPostFacto many years ago to trick an 8500 to think it could run OS Tiger. It did the job albeit the 8500 running OX Tiger was SSSLLLOOOWWW. Todays problem for me is that when i click the download button on this page it comes up as an all text page. What the...???? How do i get an executable application rather then a all text page(s) ?

I'm just wondering/hoping, if this niffty little programme might be updated soon to let users with under 900MHz G4 Macs to install OS X 10.5? It seems Apple have limited 10.5 for either Intel users or better than 900MHz G4's Fingers x-ed.....

Hi! XPF was recommended to me by a list mod to help in installing 10.3 on a beige G3 AIO. I have asked Apple and they tell me that 10.2 will install and run on this Mac just fine. I went to the list in question looking for 10.2. But the list mod was very encouraging about the superiority of 10.3 over 10.2, so I tried to dl XPF4. I got a page of very strange code, and no actual dl at all. Thought you'd want to know about that. Three questions: 1. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong in the dl process? I clicked the "Download now" button, that's all, and all that appeared to be necessary. Or maybe it can't dl to OS9? 2. If I can get hold of a set of 10.2 CDs, do I still need XPF? (Apple says no, just fyi, but if *users* have different actual experience, that's helpful to know.) 3. (Slightly OT) If I could just go altogether with X I wouldn't ask this, but: Does anyone have an opinion whether 10.3 is really so much better than 10.2 that I need to add to the complication of making the switch? It's going to be tight in the first place, as I need to partition the HD so I can have one side w/ OSX and the other w/ OS9, because I actually do use the built-in floppy and zip drives, both unsupported under all versions of X. Can't go get a USB floppy drive, because the AIO does not have USB ports, which are required by 10.3. Thanks for your time.

hi, this utility is great, i was able to run the cd installation of mac os X 10.2 in my Power Macintosh 8600 but i had a problem, everything was fine running the installation until i had to choose a selection disk for the installation, the program said that "you cannot install MacOs X on this disk. An erlier version of Mac Os X is not installed" can anybody help to solve this problem? what can i do????

Just installed 10.4 on Lombard 400MHz/320 MB, cannot shutdown cleanly, it hangs on "double kernel panic, I'm hanging here" any ideas? -- I was a very happy user of Xpostfacto on my 9500/g4450 with 10.3
