Although this is going to open a *huge* can of worms I suspect, I'd like some opinions as to which mods to use. So far, Mad Dogs and some terrain ones of Derkessel appeal visually to me. What ones are absolute must haves in peoples opinions? David

There is a shareware extension or small app that remembers your desktop arrangement and reverts bnack to it when necessary. Look on Macupdate or one of the other shareware sites for it (or Macaddict). David

Any word on when the crashing/no-startup problem with the ClassicRAVE extension and 9.0.4 with OS X installed on a second partition will be addressed? I had high hopes for this fix but no luck and will purchase only after this problem is solved. Regards, David

Here's what was loaded in the system 9.0.4 folder by OS X public beta. Anyone have any ideas which of these folks is at fault? My guess would be the "Classic RAVE" extension.

Just my $0.02. CM demo worked fine on both my G4 and iMac running 9.0.4 prior to the arrival of the OS X beta. Since partitioning my drive, re-installing everything and putting OS X on the second partition then downloading a new demo of CM, boom, no luck. The CM demo tries to start up, pops to black for a resolution change, then falls right back to OS 9. I am not trying to start this in X Classic, just plain old 9. At least no hangs or nasty bombs. Gotta be an extension that X put into the 9 system disk/folder. I can volunteer to investigate if need be. David
