You got a real TV on Mac user here-Yo DS you are a sadist!Just kidding! What about that new box getting ads that can hook your computer up anywhere remotely, Fry's is selling it, if so you could check out their outpost store onlineit's a Cali store-DS 'store' but you're right on a real store posterchild on the poster boards!


  1. Hi Peter, Welcome to the Box Community! There's a known issue with Box Drive's compatibility with the new Apple M1 chipset. Our team is working diligently for a fix in a future release to support both Intel-based, and M1-based Mac machines so please look forward to it.
  2. Now type the name as “macOS Mojave“, type of OS as Mac OS X and the version of OS as Mac OS X (64-bit). And then Click on Next. Memory Size (RAM) Now select the amount of RAM to be allocated to the virtual machine. And to run macOS on Virtualbox, the minimum recommended RAM size is 2048Mb.

I'm currently using OS9.2.2 on my powerbook and it's time to upgrade. I'm putting in extra RAM so I'll have 640M with 7 gigs hard-drive space available. Does anyone know of any complications re loading on OSX - should I wipe the hard drive and do a clean install??
Thanks, davidac

I'd be careful trying this if you aren't always going to be connected to the main server.

I was thinking about the same problem, as I would like to have my TiBook do this while on the same LAN as my Cube, but then I would have problems when I took it mobile. Writing a script to store some backup mobile prefs and switch between them would be trivial, but the only hangup I had was how to create a hook so the script would run everytime I go mobile/come home. My LAN is an Airport network, so I figured that based off the status of the network connection I could determine which settings to use. Does anyone know how to do this, either via Applescript or a shell script?

Panther will have much improved abilities in this regard. The idea of caching stuff (including the authentication stuff) for when you go mobile has been a MAJOR sticking point to getting a managed desktop useable. As I have heard it described in Panther you could in theory set up your Mac with a 'roaming profile' and never rely on the presence of the server again. The credentials and etc. are cached indefinitely. But, on the other hand if the server is present when the user is connected, the stuff will automatically synchronize. So admittedly this is a server based comment to a serverless 'hint', but it illustrates how essential the presence of a server box is becoming in OSX. Fortunately Apple is not milking it's customers as badly for it's server products as Microsloth. In fact it's practically free with the purchase of an XServe.

As well, watch that if you end up using both systems at the same time you could corrupt your data files when two processes fight over updating them...

I started by creating an account on the new box. This account has an automatic mount to my main Mac.
How is this automatic mount done? Does it occur upon logging in? Upon booting? Via 'System Preferences' or though some other mechanism?
Thanks in advance,
B.L.

The best way is via an applescript that contains your name and password, as well as the path to the share.
However, a seamless mount is not really needed. Making the mount point a login item that prompts for a password is enough. The important thing is that you don't try and use this system until the mount has been loaded and the links work.

Isn't this procedure just using his main Mac as a server; there's certainly a server component in this hint. Wouldn't the title be more correct as 'Roaming Profiles without OSX Server software.' Or maybe I'm just missing something...

I'm trying to do something similar with my iPod. I work in two places (home and office) and want to use my iPod as my document universe that follows me around whereever I go.
So I mount my iPod on the desktop on both machines. Then I sync my Documents folder using IMSafe - that works great. Presumably i can using iSync to synchronize iCal and Address Books across my two computers.
For Safari, Firebird, Thunderbird and Fire, I did this:
- at home: move the data files for each of these applications (mostly in ~/Library somewhere) to my Documents folder and use ln -s to create a symbolic link from their original home to their new localtion.
- when leaving home: run IMSafe to sync my Documents folder onto the iPod
- at work: mount the iPod on the desktop, then have a symbolic link from the original location to poin to the location on my iPod
This works for iCal but not for Fire, Safari, Firebird or Thunderbird. I'm using the ln -s approach, not the Make Alias method.
I wonder if this is some permission problem. Any suggestions?

Newbox Mac Os X

I have something similar setup with one addition. It is not a totally foolproof setup, but works well and any errors (my screw ups) are easily corrected.
I do much the same. Store Mail.app files, etc. on a remote volume on my 'basement server'. When at my desktop or on my TiBook at home, everything is up to date since all is on the same remote volume.
The additional thing I have set up is a Disk Image with the same name as the volume on my server (I append the host computer's name during sync operations). When on the road I mount the disk image, which provides the correct path names. While away and using the disk image, all works the same, but it is a local volume instead of a remote one.
If I screw up and launch Mail.app while neither the remote or disk image is mounted, OS X simply creates a folder by the name of the missing volume in the invisible folder /Volumes/ (which I keep an alias to in my Home folder). Just quit the app, delete the bogus folder in /Volumes/, and all is well.

For that why dont you just make a sym link to your whole home directory?
ln -s /Volumes/main_mac/Users/userName /Users/userName

New Mac Os Release 2020

the one reason that I would not is the Library folder. Different apps on different machine etc. etc.
