Perhaps?
Thanks for this, will be hoping to put it to good use. Have a g4 flat panel that been sitting for after it went down and was figuring some day I could look into when I had the time, in hopes might be a simple fix, as well as learning more about how these machines work and run. Well that has come, waiting on a few things to get here, and to see if it's gonna be simple. Thanks
Suggest you start a new thread if you want specific help with a G4 (presumably an iMac). There are already many similar threads on the iMac G4 - one of my favourites if not the favourite PPC machine.
Does anyone have any links/suggestions where one can find add ons to use with Safari/Webkit browser (Powerbook G4, OSX 10.5.8, 1.67GHz, 2GB) Need an ad block and anything else to make it work smoother. I've got the TTF working with the add ons, Thanks to all you Guys sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thankyou Dronecatcher, Am i doing something wrong? Downloaded Ninjakit it opens up in the regular safari (not the webkit safari) which of course means safari tells me it cant open the page. How to get Ninjakit to open up in Webkitsafari?
I'm sure it installs just by dragging onto the window? You have to enable extensions in preferences too.
Yes that worked thankyou. So Im copying the script from greasy fork into a new script page in Ninjakit window (add new script) I save. But so far tried on a couple different scripts and they dont work. I found a good script called 'Autoclose You Tube Ads' which i would love to get working. Cant find an Ad block script yet? And when i try to add extention UBlock origin ad blocker Safari/webkit crashes and closes. So frustrating. AHHHHHHH! .. Im struggling with Hosts file :-(
Afraid I can't help with the adblock scripts as I never use one - although I use a Youtube script, Viewtube with NinjaKit and it works flawlessly.
What specific problem are you having with the hosts file?
Fantastic! Thankyou Dronecatcher i got Viewtube up and running on Ninjakit its great! Thankyou
Now to just stop those blasted ads.
Im trying to figure out Hosts file.
Do you know is Glimmer Blocker still working?

So following the host file instructions it goes wrong at step 3. I type into the terminal the instructions
$su - administrator
$su - root¹
and I get command not found.
¹(Launch the Directory Utility and enable root in the edit menue) I dont get an obvious option to enable root and no edit menu?
Im not sure what im doing here. LOL
Instructions are:
You may use the included batch file "mvps.bat" to copy the included HOSTS file to the proper
location on your machine. This batch file will backup the existing HOSTS file prior to copying
the updated version. The backed-up file will be renamed to HOSTS.MVP.
I opened 'mvps.bat' file with terminal and it said process completed.
Im a bit lost from there on i hate to admit.
Ok...here's how I do it.
Open the hosts.zip (I always change the HOSTS to lowercase as the existing OSX one is lowercase)
Copy this line into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Enter/return and then type killall Finder
Enter/return
This allows Finder to show hidden files/folders.
Then in Finder, navigate to /private/etc
Find hosts and rename it hosts_old
Move the downloaded hosts into the etc folder (you'll be asked for your password)
To return your Finder into the normal mode of hiding hidden files/folders, copy this into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Enter/return and type killall Finder
Enter/return
Type dscacheutil -flushcache
Enter/return
That should do it
Haha! So far so good. Thankyou! It wouldnt give me permission to change the host file name so made a copy onto desktop. Thankyou for taking the time to write that all out i appreciate it. Thankyou. from what i read from you guys discussing things, you use TFF for internet because its more stable and Safari/webkit for youtube. I notice safari/webkit doesnt open ALL websites, is that something you guys have fixed or just live with?
On PowerPC it's good policy to have many browsers for different jobs. I get better use out of Webkit by enabling all the extra scripts that came in the bundle and via the Develop menu using an older user agent - this stops the browser attempting to load features that it isn't capable of.
Also Fluid allows you to make single sites browsers for Webkit and TenFourFoxBox does the same for TenFourFox.
Guys, two questions. Guide talks about tenfox browser, and I found that interwebppc replaced it. Does it also need these addons Decentraleyes & uMatrix and then installing foxPEP for ultra optimization?
And second question bout power profiles of iBook:

What do they chance? Only sleep and screen off time or it also affect cpu and gpu clock.

The CPU toggles between a reduced speed, on demand ie slows down when idle or doing lesser tasks and full speed.
The add-ons you mentioned can help and an optimised prefs file will definitely help - either use FoxPEP or edit your own.
Tiger’s Disk Utility can’t repartition a drive without erasing it. Leopard’s Disk Utility and iPartition can. I thought you want to repartition without losing all your stuffThough i thought Disk Utility can do this
Exactly, and I partition helped me. I just though it would be possible to do with native app of tiger, but now I see how it works.Tiger’s Disk Utility can’t repartition a drive without erasing it.
