Your fine on the error you got on Grunch. Try to install more applications. See if you can get it to lock. One thing I found using AminetRadio is that if I don't close out of it and I try to reboot, it will hang the whole system, but eventually reboots. Sometimes the GUI is unresponive, but it was all in Aminetradio.

Next I will install Hurrican and TVPaint. Last time I installed Aminet Radio, I couldn't figure it out, so I wasn't using it.

I'd still like to know why the error in Grunch. I never had that issue in my previous install of 3.0.
But it seems to be an error at the link or site where Grunch is looking for that plugin (Pollucks). I hope someone can tell me what went wrong and how to fix it.

Mine threw the same error, just files it didn't find or updates it didnt get, but don't worry. I'm sure they will fix things as they go. By the sounds of it looks like your Mac Mini is in good shape.

I think that error means that one of the several different database files that Grunch uses to locate, download, and install it's many programs could not be found because the link to that database file could not be found. Possibly because the server where that file is located was down when you ran Grunch.

It is my (limited) understanding that Grunch uses database files that are created by several different programmers, who have written the Grunch installation files in the Grunch format, for one or several different programs. These files are placed into a database file which is then read by Grunch and Grunch automatically checks for new versions of these database files from all the different programmers who are writing them, every time you start Grunch up, so it always has the latest versions. Grunch uses all of these database files to install, uninstall, or update all of it's programs.

I am not sure, but I think Grunch keeps a copy of the last version of each database, so if it can't connect to the link to any of the database file servers to check for a new version of any of the database files, it will use the last version of that particular database file that it has downloaded the last time it was able to connect and download that particular database.

All of this is guess work on my part about how the Grunch program works, as I am really too lazy to read the docs for most programs.

The server is up but the database file is not there.
