[QUOTE="sybawi, post: 1579419, member: 309538"] Thanks for clarifying MacInWin. I should have mentioned though that Onyx did not even open yet - instead, for some strange reason (?) ages after having double-clicked the dmg i had downloaded and copied over using the disc in target mode, not Onyx or its installer did open, but Disc Utilities. By then HD storage had dropped 10GB from written bogus swap and things became too slow to do anything, or trust something was being done. With the disc running this slow, you still recommend letting Onyx 'finish', even if it would run stuck halfway? [/QUOTE]
