I suspect that is the case because when I changed the color depth in the monitor control panel to 1bit( that is not just to black & white but literally by going into the option where it lets you allocate less ram for video, then it boots ok. Still, after awhile it hangs. Nasty things like VM faults and whatnot. I couldn't untar gcc which was 28 meg either. kept crashing. Recompiled tar and was then able to untar all of gcc 2.7.2. Really a pain this problem considering the mac IIci was one of the greatest mac models ever produced and that I STILL can't get it to run more that a few minutes at a time is disappointing - guess I blame apple for thier dorky reluctance to give us useful information on how thier machines work. Good luck, jcarr ps: where is the patch?????????? -- email: jcarr@wit.org
