whenever i try to start classic i'm getting "You do not have sufficient permissions to run Classic from /Volumes/ivoFluffy (my other hard drive) /System Folder. Please correct permissions and restart Classic." I have just reinstalled osx , i'm thinking that would have triggered it, but i'm just in for the solution here. IP: Logged |

If you know how to use the shell you can check the permissions to that drive (ls -al) if you don't have Read/write access you can use the command chmod 755 <folder name> But I'm sure I'm overcomplicating it :-) IP: Logged |

Actually the three digits represent which group has what premissions, for instance, chmod XYZ X is user permission (YOUR permissions) The number is technically a 4 digit Octal code (the first digit representing whether or not it's a directory and therefore generally ignored or left off in the chmod command) The common numbers used are the following IP: Logged |

More specifically: 4 = read Add these together to get whatever combination you want. Use -R to set permissions recursively. For more information, type "man chmod" IP: Logged |

Hmm...how about just selecting the classic Mac OS drive, getting info and clicking under Permissions "Ignore permissions for this drive" something like that. You can do that if you have a separate drive with classic Mac OS. You unix geeks IP: Logged |
