Hi I have a MAC that I upgraded (wiped hard drive) to Leopard. The weird thing is it seemed my X11 off the CD was corrupt. No worries though as I downloaded the latest and now DARWINE works with (Clock & Notepad) and Mac ports works with GIMP and Alienblaster. So X11 is good. I have installed, deleted and installed OpenOffice 2.4 at least 10 times and each time I get the same thing. I click the icon and X11 boots, next xterm appears. At this point on other macs the splash screen appears but not on this one. On this mac nothing appears and the OO Icon just sits in the bottom. It is selectable but the menu only allows about and edit script options. Edit script does nothing. OO will not shut down unless force quit is used. Now I am rather new to MAC OS X but I have a good windows and Unix/Linux background so I decided to play tonight and I moved the OO to my home then went in with the xterm and tried to run programs in the MACOS dir. I actually got OO to run using the soffice.bin once but cant reproduce it. I can also launch testtool.bin but Im not sure what that even is. Anyways I am really having a ball (NOT!) playing with this and the person who gets this MAC is now 4 Days overdue on getting it and at this point I have no clue how to fix it cause im not really sure what the script in soffice does but I am fairly sure that is the point of failure.

Hard disks and partitions can either be backed up (or “imaged”) or “cloned” (duplicated). So what are the differences and pros and cons for each option?
A hard drive backup
When backing up a hard drive the entire content of the selected drive or partition are backed up into a file (also known as an Image) on to the target location. By doing so, all data is saved into one single file. When carrying out a full backup of the system hard drive the entire operating system as well as all installed programs and settings are also saved. This file can also be protected or “encrypted” with a password.
Oo For Mac Mojave
Pros:
Easy management as only one file contains the entire backup.
Providing the target disk is big enough, numerous backups can be saved simultaneously.
The backup file can be compressed and so uses less space.
Cons:
In order to restore the system or data to a previous state or to access files and documents, the backup software is required.
Drive clone
When duplicating or cloning a drive a copy of the drive or partition is created directly to the target location. This means you get an immediate copy including the hard disk structure, i.e. the partition layout and split. A cloned disk or drive contains all the partitions from the source disk or drive.
Pros:
The data is copied directly to the target location and can be used and edited immediately.
A cloned system drive that contains the operating system can be mounted as a new drive and immediately booted.
Cons:
A clone needs more space because the partitions are immediately created on the target disk. For that reason it is not possible to compress or encrypt the data.
An incremental or differential clone is not possible.
Only one version of the duplicated data can be held at one time on a drive.
O For Mac
Recommendation:
Should the backup need to be created on a regular basis then we recommend the hard drive backup. This takes up less space and allows for the creation of incremental and differential backups afterwards.
If however you need a bootable spare drive in order to be up and running quickly after a crash and to reduce downtime then we recommend a clone or duplicate.
A combination of the two has proven over time to be the best practice: a regular hard drive backup for the daily data, then supplemented by a clone of the system drive in order to be up and running quickly in an emergency.
