Experiences of Upgrading or Using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
Tiger Upgrade
This section is for noting experiences, collecting information, tips, etc. for upgrading a Mac to Tiger
If you use
XCode (previously known as
Developer Tools) you will need to upgrade this separately - the DVD/CD has a separate installer for this.
If you use
fink or
darwinports, you will need to upgrade them after installing Tiger.
X11 and ssh: After installing Tiger, you may find that X11 no longer behaves nicely with windows launched remotely over ssh, e.g. if you use commands such as
ssh hostname xterm. Symptoms include X errors being displayed, cut and paste operations failing and windows disappearing. This seems to be fixed by using the
-Y option to ssh to force it to use
trusted X11 forwarding, e.g.
ssh -Y hostname xterm.
