Title: Disk maintainence routine for Classic & 10

What is your disk maintainence routine for X and classic or OS9.2.2 for that matter.

I hardly do anything. If something goes wrong I'll run fsck from single user mode, followed by Disk Utility from the install CD.

Once in a blue moon I'll run DiskWarrior from OS 9...that is until the OS X version is available.

I've had no disk related issues at all...knock on wood.

KPS,

While we're on the subject of fsck and other sundries, what are some sites that you visit that has all this stuff on it.

Gary, I've been on OS X since the "beta", that's going on three years now...at least. I don't know a really good site that'll compile all of it for you in a simple way.

If I was to recommend something it would be these:

http://www.macosxhints.com/

http://homepage.mac.com/rgriff/

http://www.osxfaq.com/

http://osx.hyperjeff.net/links.html

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/

http://www.macdevcenter.com/

That should keep you busy for a while...

Kps,

Heh, thanks!    

It looks like you listed them by degree of difficulty.    

I bookmarked them.
