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 -- Alain Barthélemy SBB-ISP
