Okay, it's a long shot... Somebody borrowed my MAC OS X (Tiger) disks, to try out the latest Garage Band or ITunes or something before they bought a new Mac. "Keep the discs as long as you like." I said - after all I removed MacOS from my ibook when it arrived and it's been triple boot Debian / Gentoo / whatever else I try that week since then. Now I need MacOS back on to re-set the firmware on a 3G iPod with a broken database (at least, GtkPod thinks it's bust), and the chap with the OS-X discs has disappeared for the rest of the summer,so has anyone out there either - 1. Got the MacOS Tiger DVD (as supplied with ibooks, et al.) they could lend me [I have a last-generation PPC ibook, so it's fully licensed] or 2. Someone who has the iPod restoration software on either MacOS or MS Windows [neither of which I have, see above] who could let me use their computer to restore the afflicteed iPod? Cheers, - Richard btw I don't mind off-list replies, but it would also be interesting to see on-list who has PPC hardware =^) -- www.sc.lug.org.uk
