Sorry for the offtopic to main list, but I know theres a few appleheads
here who might have an answer.
After a machine we have (800mz emac) started making wierds all over the
place with random crashouts and the like, and after doing the usual sys
permission checks etc, I reinstalled wt archivie OS X10.2 on the machine
When it finished, the account wouldnt accept the password, so I dropped in
the magic disk, changed the password, and rebooted again
NOW when I log in, rather than going to the aqua shell thingee it does, it
just drops out to the blackscreen/white writing console and asks me to log
in there, and onwards to the csh (or tsh or whatever it is. It aint bash
tho).
Any idea how to tell an account "No. I really do want to use the gui!"???
The mac shop guy said "replace the logic board". But if "replace the logic
board" was the answer to all mac problems (as the techs tend to claim)
then the logic board has a lot to answer for. Regardless the other
accounts are fine, so I suspect the macshop guy is a pleb.
Any advice would be way apreciated.
