   Remote Install Mac OS X was released as part of Mac OS X 10.5.2 on February 12, 2008. Support for the Mac mini was added in March 2009, allowing the DVD drive to be replaced with a second hard drive. With the launch of Mac OS X Lion, Apple has omitted Remote Install.

4. launchd - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd

   Here is a simplified view of the Mac OS X Tiger system startup on a PowerPC Mac (on an Intel Mac, EFI replaces Open Firmware and boot.efi replaces BootX): Open Firmware activates, initializes the hardware, and then loads BootX. BootX loads the kernel, spins the pinwheel cursor, and loads any needed kernel extensions (kexts). The kernel loads ...

5. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

   Separating user data from system data can prevent the system partition from becoming full and rendering the system unusable. Partitioning can also make backing up easier. A disadvantage is that it can be difficult to properly size partitions, resulting in having one partition with too much free space and another nearly totally allocated.

This addition to the operating system in no way changed the logical structure of the file system. Apple's logical volume manager is known as Core Storage and its encryption at the volume level can apply to file systems other than HFS Plus.

7. File system - Wikipedia

   Utilities to free space for deleted files, if the file system provides an undelete function, also belong to this category. Some file systems defer operations such as reorganization of free space, secure erasing of free space, and rebuilding of hierarchical structures by providing utilities to perform these functions at times of minimal activity.

8. Booting - Wikipedia

   The disk, tape or card deck must contain a special program to load the actual operating system or standalone utility into main storage, and for this specific purpose "IPL Text" is placed on the disk by the stand-alone DASDI (Direct Access Storage Device Initialization) program or an equivalent program running under an operating system, e.g ...

9. Space Gremlin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Gremlin

   Space Gremlin is designed to find large and unnecessary files to delete on a hard drive. [2] It uses a squarified treemap algorithm [ 3 ] to display the relative sizes of files and folders. It allows the user to zoom in and out of folder structures and mask out parts of the file system by toggling hidden or 'Ignored' files.
