Product Description:

NOx simply runs a few shell commands that speed up your computer's boot time. It copies over an executable that Apple (possibly) forgot to include in Mac OS X, increasing boot times considerably.
Note: This is not guaranteed to work on all machines. Use at your own risk.

What's new in this version:

Now copies over the executable instead of creating a symbolic link.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mr. Pi

Nox has been made obsolete by OS 10.3.4, as Apple has fixed the files that they forgot. The download is not available because I have taken NOx offline. If it is run in 10.3.4, it will report that startup acceleration is off, if you try to disable it, it permanently removes an important file that it cannot replace. Thank you for not using NOx, as I have now permanently disabled startup acceleration on my computer.
