2000 – These instructions were written specifically for installing Mac OS 8.1 on a large group of Power Mac 6100s. However, they can easily be adapted to almost any situation where you may be updating the Classic Mac OS. This was written when the I was the IT Manager at.
Ever heard about WildFly? Formerly known as JavaBeans Open Source Software Application Server or JBoss. Formally known as: It is a Powerful WebServer and that have many built-in feature support and if you are building a large enterprise environment, we recommend JBoss.
Background In October 1996, Apple released the last update to, bringing it to version 7.5.5. That was the last time we updated every Mac in the company to the same version of the Mac OS (ranging from a and through and ). Then as now, the computer we had the most of was the, some with DOS cards, but most without, and over two dozen 6100s in all. These machines were mostly purchased during the first half of 1995 when we moved to a new IBM AS/400-based accounting system. The typical configuration was 16 MB of memory, whatever size hard drive Apple was providing at the moment, and no CD-ROM.
Our local dealer was kind enough to pull the CD-ROM drives that we didn’t need at the time and give us a significant credit for them. Today, all of the 6100s have been upgraded to 40 MB of memory, but only a handful have CD-ROM drives.
Over the past years, we’ve been slowly retiring older Macs. We hope to be 100% PowerPC at work by mid-2000, moving our Quadras to our retail stores to replace Mac II series machines in use there. We’ve finally reached the point where we can update our entire installed base of Macs to Mac OS 8.1. We’ve also reached the point where some current apps, including our versions of and, don’t work with System 7.5.5.
Fortunately, we found an incredible deal on Mac OS 8.1 CDs from – just $15 per copy. We purchased enough copies to update all of our Quadras, Power Macs, and PowerBooks. The Process The basic upgrade process is quite simple: Run Norton Disk Doctor on the hard drive, install Mac OS 8.1, run Disk Doctor again, and then run Norton Speed Disk. (I borrowed my oldest son’s external CD-ROM drive for use with Macs that didn’t have CD drives.) Installing Mac OS 8.1 on a Power Mac 6100 via CD-ROM – even a 24x one – is a very slow process. Not only is this because Mac OS 8.0 followed by the 8.1 updater is big, but in part because the installer insists on putting Netscape Navigator 3.01, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01, and Claris Emailer Lite on each and every computer. Not only is installation slow, but the installer requires about 120 MB of free drive space.
If that’s not available, the installation aborts late in the process. There had to be a better way. The better way was to do a full Mac OS 8.1 installation on a hard drive that you can share on the network (or use a, Jaz, or ORB drive, if you have one of those) and work from that. Do not boot from this installation. You need to leave it alone so it will prompt for ID, network settings, etc. After you copy it to a new Mac. As with any upgrade, the most important thing is having a backup just in case anything goes wrong.
We automatically back up all our Macs daily, so that was not an extra step at work. Then you want to make sure that the hard drive is in perfect shape. We use Norton Disk Doctor, but you may prefer TechTools or Disk Warrior. Normally you could install Mac OS 8.1 over System 7.5.5, but we’re not doing that – not only does it take too long, but it puts a lot of unwanted software on the computer (many of our users are not allowed Internet access, so Internet Explorer and Netscape need to be removed). But before copying a new System Folder to the 6100, we need to copy all third-party extensions and preferences for use with Mac OS 8.1.
You could do this manually, but Marc Moini’s (CIA) can do it effortlessly. Be sure to have a copy of this invaluable program on your drive before you go any further.
Another step you may want to take before going any further is to add any additional system files (we always use a Hosts file for TCP/IP) to your Master System Folder – and moving unwanted Control Panels and Extensions to their respective “disabled” folders. Installing from the System CD If you’re only doing a one to three installs, it may be faster to just do a Clean Install from the Mac OS 8.1 System CD. Doing a clean install will automatically rename your old System Folder as Previous System Folder, so you’ll know where to look for preferences and other files. If you have ATM or ATM Deluxe on your computer, be sure to pull that from the old System Folder – CIA will not do it. Installing from a Remote Volume At this point, we boot the computer from the Mac OS 8.1 CD, then run DriveSetup to install the current drivers to the hard drive. Then we run CIA to move all the “extra” files in the System Folder to temporary storage.
If you have ATM or ATM Deluxe on your computer, be sure to pull that from the old System Folder – CIA will not do this. Now rename your old System Folder ( Old System Folder is a good name) and copy the Mac OS 8.1 System Folder from the shared drive on your network (or your Zip 250, Jaz, or ORB drive). Be sure to copy the Assistants folder and the Internet folder from your master to the computer’s hard drive. When you’re finished copying, use CIA to put all the extra files from your old System Folder into the new System Folder.
Note that a few preferences may not copy – manually open the old Preferences folder and drag those few items to the Preferences folder in your new System Folder. (If you have System 7.5.3, you will need to delete the System 7.5 Update file from the System Folder.) At this point I copy ConvertAICK and Mac OS Setup Assistant from their original locations to the Startup Items folder, replacing aliases that point to contents on your master disk. The easy way to find the originals is to open the Startup Items folder, select the two aliases, and type Cmd-R, which tells the Mac OS to find the originals. Next drag ATM to your new System Folder. It will automatically go into Control Panels. Open your new System Folder and “bless” it by double-clicking on the System file.
Now you’re ready to restart your computer, booting from the new System Folder. If you’ve done everything correctly, you’ll be walked through a series of help screens to set up user ID, network settings, etc. Most of the data should already be there, thanks to the old preferences you’ve copied over using Clean-Install Assistant. Once you’ve finished that and assured yourself the old Mac is working reliably, you can trash the old System Folder, boot from your utilities CD (Norton, TechTool, Disk Warrior), and run another pass of diagnostics. Once that’s done, I suggest optimizing your hard drive (I use Speed Disk). You now have a clean new system with all your old settings – if you’re updating several computers, this method can save a lot of time over doing a fresh install from CD each time. I figure it saved me over an hour per system, so that really adds up with fifty copies of Mac OS 8.1 to install.

Red Hat have recently introduced zero cost developer subscriptions for RHEL, and before that for JBoss as well. In this article we will install Red Hat JBoss developer studio on Ubuntu. We wont go trough process of creating Red Hat account that is needed for getting free subscriptions, and there is two reasons for that.
First, it is simple, so no need for guide. Second, I created my Red Hat account years ago and cant create another one for purpose of this tutorial. So we just assume that you have Red Hat account. Installing and setting up Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio First dependency is off course Java.
Sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk libwebkitgtk-3.0 Go to Red Hat download site or (that is Enterprise Application Platform). Open your download dir and open terminal there. Type like this::/Downloads$ java -jar devstudio-. This will start the graphical install When it finishes, you should be greeted with Red Hat Central In the search bar, type helloworld and select the first link as shown: The window will show up, you need to click finish. It will download dependencies When this is over, also click finish. Next we start the Application Server.
We go to servers tab in bottom of the workspace, and there we find stopped server. We click the green run icon to start it. When console stop throwing out messages server is started and we need to run our application. In the project explorer (left pane by default) right click the HelloWorld application and chose Run as and then Run on Server. Click finish and wait a few seconds, then you will get browser in central pane asking you to chose between JSON and XML. Chose XML and you should get Hello World! That means set up is successful and Developer Studio is ready to for development.
Connecting the Studio with OpenShift Lets say you are developing really big application for really big servers, and you don’t want it to hog all the resources of your little laptop. Then you would want to test your application on some cloud platform, say Red Hat OpenShift.
Again, we assume that you have Red Hat login. First lets install dependencies. Sudo apt-get install ruby-full rubygems git-core sudo gem install rhc Next in Red Hat JBoss Developer studio on Red Hat central pane chose “OpenShift Application” button. Rhcloud setup On this window we need sign up here button which will close the window (we need to open it again latter) and give you Red Hat login screen. Type your credentials, chose Free Plan for OpenShift and complete the registration process. After that, fire up a terminal, type rhc setup and work the prompt as follows (the. Are skipped output for clarity, user input is bold and ## is my comment where you need to hit enter) rhc setup.
Enter the server hostname: openshift.redhat.com ##just hit enter. Login to openshift.redhat.com: Password:. Generate a token now? (yes no) yes Your public SSH key must be uploaded to the OpenShift server to access code. (yes no) yes. keys (type: ssh-rsa) ——————– Fingerprint:. yourhost (type: ssh-rsa) —————————— Fingerprint:.
Provide a name for this key: nameforyourkey ## hit enter Back to Red Hat Central After finishing this we go back to Red Hat Central and open New OpenShift Application window again (last pic from above) We need to use all default like the pic, except enter user name and password we created. When we click next, we get prompted to pick existed or new application. We chose new and in Basic Cartridges I will choose JBoss Unified Push Server Next we need to create domain, name and gear. I did it like this When you set that you can click Finish It should give you how and where to login to your new application, like this: Lets head there and see if we can access our push server It will ask you change password, and then: Conclusion From here on, you can delete this and put some other cartridge, say WildFly. I know that I will dig into this push notifications. Red Hat products bundled with support usually cost pretty penny, and when they offer something for free to developers, it would be crazy not to use it. After years of avoiding Eclipse like a plague, I finally switched to Eclipse-based IDE because Red Hat have made it usable.
This guide shown you how to get started with Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio and OpenShift. Thank you for reading. The post appeared first on.
