AW: [CUBE] Tiger (OS X.4) -- INSTALLED, see comments

[Boris Jotic]

Also changes during install:

1) Language selection is first window when boot from DVD
2) after installation ur asked if u wish to transfer files from another Mac
using FireWire
3) Dashboard is under Exposé default is F12, works nice with GF3;
for water effects u need at least a GF5200 or ATI 9xxx series
4) Spotlight is very nice and fast - u have a search option directly in the
menu bar (top right corner)
5) stealth mode is a bit hidden under Sharing/Firewall/advance
6) seems not much faster then Panther but hold in mind - mine is installed
on an iPod ;)
7) Didn’t find Automator - if anyone see it please report

That’s my first impressions, installed on Dual 500 Cube
