View source for Pre-Release Mac OS X

The '''pre-release versions of Mac OS X''' are, in my classification, post-NeXTSTEP but pre-Cheetah.

== Rhapsody ==

Haven't had a successful boot with DR1 and DR2 yet. All my Macs are either too new or too old for the setup application to work.

== Mac OS X Server ==

I've only tried 1.2 v3.

=== Installation Notes ===

* Creating the partitions in the installer can take several minutes on a several-gigabyte hard disk because the installer will create an insane number of superblock backups. If you want to see progress, <code>setenv boot-args -v</code> in Open Firmware before running the installer and watch the block numbers fly by in the console.
* Copying the Blue Box startup disk file will take a few minutes. If you suspect the installer has gotten stuck, try reinstalling with the compatibility environment unchecked.

=== General Notes ===

* (applies to Mac OS X Server through Public Beta; Cheetah is OK) Plugging in a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse USB adapter or booting with one inserted will immediately kernel panic the system.

=== Verified Working ===

* [[alligator|Rev. C tray-loading iMac G3]] (applies to all later ones)

== Mac OS X Developer Previews ==

== Mac OS X Public Beta ==
