This page is intended to help the MacOSX PPC Tiger users to use the Testtool. Please, change 'ja' for your ISO language code when needed. Also take into account this info is up to version 2.1.

How to obtain OS

Usually Tiger for PPC will come with new Mac G4/G5, and you can buy it. I assume you are using Tiger with your MacOSX.

Setup

As the releases tests takes about 15 hours and use the mouse, keyboard or an OpenOffice.org instance can't be used, most people would prefer an alternative way to running the tests in the main box. The common method for Windows is:

Installation of the OS

Please consult the manual

Update the OS

Activation.
via Windows update, updated to up to date Windows XP SP2.

Some miscellaneous settings
