Erm, from the DVD I think.. it eventually decided it did need a repair, and then after about 3 attempts, repaired it.
Reset it, after it asked where I wanted to boot from, and it asked me to re-load Lion. Wireless then wouldn't connect and it crashed. Rebooted again, and it went into OS X...
Hokay ..
So, after a month of sitting in a box, iMac 1.0 still refuses to play nice.
Disk utility - verify disk gives me the following issues:
'Invalid directory item count (it should be 32476 instead of 32477)

Not a bad turnout, but WHAT a venue. :dead:
Tyler, sorry I had no idea that was you or I'd have said hi !!
Scrooge, thanks for the veg flavoured fart :quiet:
