Title: Re: Frustrated in installing Jaguar for testing purpose
Look on your iMac’s Installation CD (or DVD). What is the OS version it lists? Mine is 10.3.5. Your iMac will not install or run from anything lower than the OS it came with. You’ll have to find an older computer. Sorry.

Subject: Frustrated in installing Jaguar for testing purpose
Dear List,
Please forgive me, since I failed to find a better list to cry for help.
I’m developing an application which is targeted to Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar). I was happy with the cross-develop feature offered by my current development toolkit (iMac G5 + Tiger + XCode 2.2 + SDK10.2.8), but now I hope to begin the unit test in a real Jaguar environment.
>From ADC website, I could find and download Jaguar development build. But my iMac G5 refused to boot and install it. I’m sure that my iMac is in proper condition because it can boot from the original Panther CD as well as the retail Tiger CD. I’ve tested with at least four different copies of Jaguar CD, none of them works on my iMac G5. Does it mean that iMac is not backward compatible?
As some PC developers suggested, I’ve also tested with PearPC (a VMWare equivalent emulator). It was great, but due to its limitation in speed and missing of sound support, it could not be an ideal test platform for me.
Since this a common issue in software test, I would like to know how developers here test your applications that is targeted to an older OS version? Do you always keep an old Macintosh computer for testing purpose? If so, may I know which Macintosh model (G3, G4?) would be the best for running major releases of Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2.0 ~ 10.2.8)?
Thank you very much in advance!
Chen
