Mac OS 8.6: What's new? Here's what's new in the new OS: It copied absolutely everything I needed from my previous system folder, with the exception of my hacked System file splash screen for the system startup. You can deselect any items from this list that you want, and then proceed with the merge.
This software compares the clean install with the previous system folder (which you can specify), and then produces a list of items that will be copied to the clean install (noting if it is additional or replacement). I did a clean install of the system and then installed Conflict Catcher 8.0.5 to do a clean system merge. I began with the usual run of Disk First Aid (yes, I know that the install application does this, but I do it anyway), and then a rebuild of the directory using DiskWarrior.
I still prefer to do a clean install for major upgrades. The Zoom control used to be the control at the right most part of the windowbar but now the Windowshade control is right most.Installation Apple now recommends updating the OS rather than doing a clean install, because they "don't always want people messing around in the System Folder anyway." Surely they mean this only for novice users. When connecting to a secure host, the lock icon in the session's windowbar partially covers the Zoom control. This is purely a cosmetic problem but some users may be concerned. A fix has been made and a new Eudora Installer will be made available shortly. A bug has been identified which causes it to immediately crash under Mac OS 8. The EIA is the assistant which runs after the installer has finished installing Eudora for a new user. The recommendation we should give to users is to just quit the Internet Setup Assistant and configure the networking settings manually. So even if you enter all the data corectly chances are that you'll have to reenter everything again. Unfortunately, it does an incredibly bad job of it and even has a few bugs. This assistant appears after the initial assistant finishes and tries to configure the computer's networking connections. While compatibility has been excellent for such a big OS upgrade, there are still a couple of problem spots that we need to watch out for that'll be common here at MIT. Compatibility with Mac OS 8 have been incredibly good. If you do not see the software on the list, that does not mean that it is incompatible, rather that we just didn't get a chance to run it. Some software we've used heavily, others we've just tried to launch and make sure basic functionality is there. In the course of testing Mac OS 8, we've run a large number of software that people normally use around here.
