I recently acquired a Mac Mini G4 (1.25GHz) from a friend and it's quite quickly become my primary computer (I've been a Linux guy for a good few years). Now I've got a web browser that runs at a usable speed for modern Javascript based content the little old mac isn't going anywhere!Sam Westonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681707386145737359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-4768813505527663932011-03-12T19:14:48.720-08:002011-03-12T19:14:48.720-08:00Cameron, thanks for explaining his smoke and mirro...Cameron, thanks for explaining his smoke and mirrors. I tried it on my ibook G4 today and it was a no go, all I got was 10.1 installed. Guess all of us PowerPC holdouts will all just have to learn to live without flash in the future. I've heard someone is working on Lightspark for PPC on linux, maybe that could be ported over to the mac. Tenfourfox with flashbocker loads pages hellaciously fast (puts camino to shame) and there is no annoying screen tear from the plugin.dr.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886698961408263795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-76651738526631826622011-03-12T06:51:58.295-08:002011-03-12T06:51:58.295-08:00Hi,

It's faster-faster-faster, so smooth and seamless!<br /><br />Looking forward to RC<br /><br />Salute!-cheersAntonio Negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533947260637745377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-50656399351941632112011-03-11T21:48:04.317-08:002011-03-11T21:48:04.317-08:00A fascinating video.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.<br /><br />For those who haven't watched the video, he grafts the internal installer pkg from the Flash 10.2 installer into the Flash 10.1 installer, and runs the 10.1 installer, which apparently succeeds. He then displays a video as proof.<br /><br />Critically, to make it (appear to) work, he deletes the postflight portion of the 10.2 pkg, and this is where it falls down. The installer copies a *compressed* copy of the plugin to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Flash Player.plugin.lzma), and the postflight executable is -- you guessed it -- the part that expands and activates the plugin. This never runs, so it never gets expanded, *and 10.1 never gets overwritten*. To prove this, do his steps as shown, and look in Plug-Ins folder. There is now Flash Player.plugin, which is 10.1.x.x, and Flash Player.plugin.lzma. If you right-click on a Flash applet when executing and ask About..., it will take you to the Flash version page, where the plugin will itself report its version: 10.1. That's why it appears to work, because the *old* plugin is still active.<br /><br />So what about running the postflight? Well, it's Intel-only. So much for that.<br /><br />The only way this could have possibly worked is if the plugin itself were accidentally built Universal, and based on the filesize alone I'd say there is little or no chance they made such an error. So, as written, this otherwise promising hack doesn't actually install 10.2. :(ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-28579122658654500132011-03-11T21:22:15.831-08:002011-03-11T21:22:15.831-08:00This dude has figured out a way to install 10.2 Fl...This dude has figured out a way to install 10.2 Flash on PowerPC machines. I haven't tried this myself but it looks legit.
