here is my bug report:

it happened to me again today. this time, i was not transferring a huge amount of data, rather, i was un-tarring a rather large tar file, on my firewire drive. the firewire drive stopped responding, and iTunes, the one window of Terminal.app with the tar process, and Finder.app all ceased to...

besides fstab, OSX will also probe busses and adds them dynamically. i believe that the software that controls this is autodiskmount, which unfortunately doesn t seem to have any gonfigurability: everything goes in /Volumes the answer to your question is yes, everything will work normally...

i thought i would point out that drive 10 now has optimization. presumable it uses the same code from techtool pro. i think i will buy it now.... Ed, i wonder what your opinion is about what is the best disk repair utility. i have hosed a big firewire backup drive, and i can t get techtool...

i believe that if you 'su -' instead of just 'su', you get the environment proper to the user you are suing to, i.e. PATH and HOME and such. if you just 'su' you only get UID of the user (in this case root) if you want to run an app as root from the terminal, i assume you were doing this...

i believe that those are example fstab files, just for reference. /etc/fstab is the one you are looking for. if it is not already there, create one.

this is not a security hole. If someone is allowed to change your boot disk, then that person can have total read write access to your other disks. this situation is the same for every OS, UNIX and windows.

sounds like a kernel panic. yeah, thats how OSX will do its UNIX crash. it feels somehow more frustrating and more serious-looking than an old fashioned OS9 crash. well i guess we will just have to wait. you might give VueScan a try. you can find it on versiontracker. i ve also heard...

i found those port numbers on this message board. it was easy for me to find because i ve seen this discussed before and knew what keywords to search by. i was gonna just post the URL to the thread, but it was really long, with a lot of flase speculation about MS spyware, so i didn t. so...

yeah, Office will check on the LAN for other instances running with the same serial number. try something like this: sudo ipfw add 0 deny udp from any to any 2222 sudo ipfw add 0 deny tcp from any to any 3464 it will block the ports that office uses, so that it cannot communicate on...

krokodilen: i sometimes wonder what exactly the differences between OSX client and OSX server. OSX server has a GUI frontend to setting up NI domains, and now im learning that it has GUI frontend to bind, but for the most part, the underlying software is identical? tk4two1: after you...

au contraire. bind is installed by default on OSX client, although there is no default configuration (i.e. there is no /etc/named.conf). but you don t have to download/install. just create a configuration file.

i just looked at the link, and it seems they are now claiming OSX support for three of the six listed models. that s new. the other three have been changed (this is the third time they ve changed the page) to late fall. they all six read summer about a week ago. sorry you have a 4400...

KDE is quite large. figure on a very large download, and then a long long wait for compilation.

here is my thread asking that same question. in that thread you can find HPs website for exactly this question, but be warned, they have changed the dates on that webpage several times already. here is the link

well setting up a name server means just having the correct config files, and then run /usr/sbin/named. setting up custom zone files might be a little complicated for your needs, however. you don t really need to have a name server just to translate hostnames to IPs. /etc/hosts or NetInfos...

so, in previous versions, it was command - Y to close a tab, and command - w to close the window, right? so these commands are new to chimera 0.4? you know, i kind of preferred te previous way, and ill bet it is more compliant with apple interface guidelines. what are your opinions?

actually, i think apple + N is new window apple + T is new tab

i believe that OSX only likes to share out home directories. you can share out additional volumes or directories via AFP by adding an entry to mounts, in NetInfo, but there is no easy way to add a new shared folder from any system preferences. i expect that samba, even if apple has integrated...

this article has a description of adding a command line printer. it mostly just tells you to add a line to /etc/printcap. check man printcap for details about formats.
