Harddisk replaced

So finally my harddisk really died. The clicking sound was indicative of this. So I bought a new harddisk (twice as large) at MacWay, which came two days later.

Replacing the harddisk in my iBook was one of the most difficult things I ever did on a computer. It turns out that there are many different designs of this iBoo. So I started with a manual, but then got stuck, because things turned out to be different.

But all in all two hours later, I could start restoring things. Again TimeMachine came to my rescue. By now the backup is a week old, but I did very few things in-between.

There are still troubles with TimeMachine, as not everything gets restored nicely:

(2)No such file or directory: httpd: could not open error log file /private/var/log/apache2/error_log.
implies that I have to create the directory apache2 by hand.

(org.postfix.master): Failed to count the number of files in "/var/spool/postfix/maildrop": No such file or directory
created directory postfix and maildrop.
