I tried Boxer - application for DOS games based on DOSBox. Now I can compare my result with Mactracker. I made also one benchmark with Geekbench and the score was - 190. After turning off dashboard Tiger seems to be very swift, at least as Panther. Benchmark results with Panther were about - 9,48 and with Tiger - 10,75 - so more than 1 point increase. I have installed Adium, OnyX, Cog (nice music player) and because I was curious about speed and performance of Tiger I have installed also Xbench. All I had to do was write this command to console:ĭefaults write mcx-disabled -boolean YESĪnd voila! More than 200 MB free! But with browsing the net or running a lot of apps this amount of free RAM can decrease very fast. I think spotlight is great and very useful, so I decided to turn the dashboard off. I thought it could be because of Dashboard or Spotlight - two main features of Tiger (and differences between Panther and Tiger).

What I noticed during downloading and browsing was slow-down of the system. I have downloaded also Camino and this time I was not so impressed, because of speed of Safari. I browsed the net with Safari 3.0.4 and I was surprised with its speed, definitely it was better than version in Panther. Then finally I could download software and this time the latest versions. It was repeated several times ma inly due to Java updates.

The installation process took approximately one hour and ran without problem.Īfter registration the update process started-up and took another hour or more. After first restart the installation continued from other CD's. I erased HDD entirely before the installation just to be sure.

I downloaded and installed the latest version so I could use it with Mac OS X 10.3 (the previous versions worked only with OS 9). But you can override this with software XPostFacto. My iMac is not officially supported because it has no FireWire. But I was lucky because friend of my friend, Neuromanc, lent me this very rare 4-CD version. Firstly I needed Tiger on CD's and that was a big problem because you can buy Tiger mostly on DVD although there are also some CD versions but very expensive.

Nonetheless, it can be an interesting trick to see what’s going on, and in many ways it resembles looking at a Terminal screen or booting a Linux PC as the kernel details scroll by during the loading process.So my goal to install Mac OS X Tiger has come true. Most users will have no need to boot verbose, unless out of curiosity, or performing some particularly complex troubleshooting or diagnostics tasks on a Mac. This is what it looks like roughly to boot Mac OS X with verbose option enabled: It’s a text only boot mode, but it will be exited from automatically when the Mac OS X boot process has completed enough to enter into the graphical user interface. It allows you to see everything your Mac is doing on system boot, so if there is an error thrown or something going wrong during the system boot process, it’s easier to identify. Verbose boot mode is helpful when troubleshooting your Mac, particularly when used in conjunction with Mac OS X safe booting.

That will show you the current nvram parameters, indicating if something like verbose mode or safe boot is enabled, but you’ll also see some other data there too that may appear as gibberish – for our purposes here you can ignore all that and just focus on the boot arguments. If you’re curious what the current firmware nvram settings are, type the following: Sudo nvram boot-args= Check current nvram firmware boot settings Sudo nvram boot-args="-v" Disabling Verbose Booting on the MacĮqually simple is the ability to disable verbose booting, which will basically make Mac OS X boot as normal – this is the default boot behavior of every Mac: Simply execute the following nvram command at the Terminal to enable verbose boot mode and set it to ‘always’ (meaning every system boot is verbose by default):
