These are questions that you should be able to find answers to just typing in your query into: -Google -the search field in Apple's developer web site <http://developer.apple.com/ > -the documentation search field in XCode However, the most basic question's that needs to be asked in order to give you a reasonable answer is: What is trying to get this information (a script in the Installer package, another application, a daemon)?

Best thing is to wipe it completely and start with a Leopard install DVD. I think I used another Mac, firewire, and Target Disk Mode to install the software onto an iBook. my kids' iBook G3s are running 10.4.x, whatever is the most recent thing. And Apple's Software Update has yet to break them (knock on head for luck)... I think that developers should be aware of the Target Disk Mode for software installation.
