Hello,

Sorry if it is off-topic but I have problem

I suppose most of you work with MacOSX

I am very happy with SuSE-7.3, mostly on Intel-PC because there are more soft 
available for SuSE (i386)

I tested MacOSX on a volume of a laptop G3 (another volume hosts SuSE-7.3)

I tested mail.app on MacOSX: it worked first not too badly and I could easily 
read my Cyrus-IMAP folder.

But ... : mail.app suddenly crashed. If it was Linux, no great problem, just 
a little "kill" and everything starts again but not with MacOSX: everything 
crashed: no more folders in my volumes, all the folders were replaced by 
del****.** folders. Impossible to boot except with the install CD

Problem with reinstalling: I don't want to lose my partition with SuSE-7.3 
that never crashed.

The MacOSX lists don't seem to be aware of the problem or seem not to be 
active.

Thus: questions

1) did anyone have this problem of "MacOSX fatal crash"?
2) how to get rid of the "del****.**" folders or restore the original folders?
3) or how to reinstall MacOS9 and MacOSX 10.1 without erasing and losing my 
SuSE-Linux partition?

It is a pity Apple did not ask professionnals like SuSE to make a 
distribution for MacOSX
