i m not exactly sure how this works, but i have noticed that fink can have an entry (for example, if you do fink list) you will see an entry for user-installed xfree86. i don t know how to make fink aware that xfree86 is already installled, but i think it has a mechanism for dealing with this....

i believe the IP address is stored in /etc/iftab. would you mind deleting your double post?

well the command for setting resource fork stuff is /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo or SetFile, but looking at it briefly, it doesn t seem to see comments. there is no man page so.....

well fink is far and away the best way to do kde, but if you really can t make that work, then you can download it from kde.org, or your local mirror. installation instructions can be found here seriously though, don t give up on fink. fink is the only unix package manager for OSX, and...

you can fsck at the # prompt. in single user mode, that s all the prompt looks like. as what the file does, i m not sure, but looking at it, mine is identical to /etc/passwd. so maybe its a backup, or default for /etc/passwd? anyway, both of these files are only used in single user mode...

Trip, it should be clear from shean s error that he s not having a problem finding the right directory, like you say in your first post. if he tried to compile his code from the wrong directory, the shell would give him an error. He is also not having a compiler error, like you claim in your...

I want to write a script for merging mp3 collections. i have 2 large mp3 collections on my computer, one is mine, the other i got from my brother. i started writing it in bourne a while ago, but was unable to get it to accommodate spaces in filenames. with a recent thread from shatfield and...

i thought i was sure, but perhaps i was wrong. your suggestion definitely seems feasible. especially when backed up by experimental evidence.

adding appletalk printers is quite easy. use the at_cho_prn command (as root). as for IP printers, not quite sure.

ppp0 is your modem. if your DSL connection is over ethernet, then use en0 instead (PPPoE stands for point to point protocol over ethernet)

there is. it is on these boards somewhere too

if you bought OSX on or after july 17, then you can upgrade to jaguar when it comes out on aug 24. i presume that this does not apply to a 10.1 update CD, only a 10.1 full install retail CD

http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/#gen_2 jaguar will have java 1.3.1_04. there is a developers seed of java 1.4 available.

mine is ZM691-2794-A

yeah, actually, i ve recently switched to gentoo, and i think its the best. its a little do-it-yourselfish, but it has really become my favorite distro. the package management system is as good or better than debians apt-get/deselect, but debian is so behind. with gentoo you can have bleeding...

i m having a weird problem with OSX lately. everytime i leave the system for a little while, when the machine goes to sleep and the screen goes black, it logs me out. when i return to my computer, the whole screen remains black, except for the password field which shows up as soon as i start...

you really don t need a list of free software. there are thousands and thousands of free softwares at places like sourceforge and freshmeat, and just a list of names and links is not too useful. a good distro will come with all the free software you want to use. and just because somebody...

a nice article on PPC assembly for any who are interested

to be perfectly honest, shatfield, i was sort of faking my way through this answer, waiting for someone more experienced in scripting (Read: testuser) came along and set us straight. i m anxious to see if his script works for you, and i started thinking that i should make a script like this for...
