564680 - Update Mac readme.txt file for trunk

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

We need to change the system requirements in the mac readme file as we don't support 10.4 anymore.

Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Leopard#System_requirements it seems that we should excude the G3 processors as well. I also don't think there's any point mentioning minimum RAM requirements, since Leopard requires at least 512 and we should be safe with that.

KaiRo, I think you should be able to look at this - we don't support 10.4 and the other things I'm doing is based on the wikipedia info.

For a comparison, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/devpreview/system-requirements.html. Naturally, I think that page needs an update.

Actually, I could instead change it to this:

  System & Hardware Requirements
  ------------------------------

  - Mac OS X 10.5 and later
  - 200 MB of free hard disk space

What do you think?

Hmm, then it should be enough with "System Requirements"

I'm basically happy with this, pending on what you decide to do overall (folding those sections or not).
