I have to say I do like the performance of HFS, but it does this by making sacrifices. To suggest that HFS is better because of like (a) files being indexed by ID and b) the catalog file being organized in a b-tree) is pooh. Sun , SGI, IBM, HP, DEC, Linux filesystems...etc etc are all...

I haven't tried it for a while, but I tought you could just put a blank CD into your drive and MacOSX would ask you how you wanted it formatted, hang on a minute I'll go and check. Hey its doesn't anymore, dam! Maybe all the CD the Mac now creates are in .iso format. One way to check is to...

I started out using UFS, only because I am UNIX admin. However it took and age to load OSX and subsequent upgrades to an unacceptable amountg of time and so have moved to HFS. The Mac seems happier with HFS, even though its limited in some ways. As mentioned months ago none of the standard...

Hey I have a similar request, I make movies from video and build DVDs from this media, but would like to make copies from those DVDs rather than clutering up my hard disk with *.mov files - proviso without buying Toast for the third time.

Issue from the terminal "df -k", take alook (in general) at the "/" filesystem this will tell you not only what size your root filesystem is but that Darwin can see and deal with almost anysize filesystem. I have a small but 50+ GB filesystem for root, crackers I know, and I've used 30Gb of...

There are a few ways to proceed: What I did probably a bit radical: 1. From a terminal (as root) cd /usr/local/mysql) or wherever the distribution is and cd into "data" 2. tar cvf mydata.tar "your database" (the tasl tis the directory data under mysql 3. copy it somewhere , i.e...

Look at a file called usernames.map, usually contained within the "lib" directory of the samba tree. In here you can map any local MacOSX name to a Windows username, this can be a guest account. You can also setup samba to use the windows name server to handle the access, that is setup in the...

Do you mean, attempting to log into your machine? If so you can take alook at "netstat" from the terminal. You can see login sessions, attempts. "last" will give you login sessions also. You can also look in /var/log and look at "ftp.log" These tools are usefull as they will give you...

You need the Jaguar version of MySQL (even though its 3.23.51), I had the same problem. Downloaded the Jag version and all worked first time. I did "tar" my databases and store them temporarily in another place, upgradede and then "tar"ed them back into place and everythiing works ok. In...

Sorry for the confusion, I blame it on the "red wine". You've both answered my questions, thanks again. My problem was accessing MySQL using phpMyAdmin after I had set a password for root under MySQL using mysqladmin. Cheers

I have been working with MySQL, all intalls ok and I can do most of the things you would want with the database. The main login screen suggested that I set a password for the root account, I eventually did this and as you might guess I am unable to access MySQL and get this reply: Access...

davidbrit2 Yup you were right, I had downloaded a non-jaguar version of mysql 3.23.51. Strange that the version worked just fine but not from the command prompt, normally its the other way around. Anyway many thanks, I'll fax you some Welsh Beer, believe it or not its called "Brains"...

A cross over cable was necessary for me on my G3s (B&W and iMac), I had to make one out of s tandard cable. In fact what I did was also to extend the range, bought 6 core telephone cable and wired it up to the two ends of a current Ethernet cable. Distance is around 30 2 40 feet.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll take a look. I am running 3.23.51 and using Mark Lyiange's (spelling close enough I hope) distribution. Cheers

The new look is very easy on the eye, its just fine, and its a lot of work. My question is more of an academic point, but it could be very usefull later. Will this forum work under MacOSX, I have been told the MacOSX forum runs under Red Hat Linux, which is just fine also. We ran SnitZ...

Got the necessary stuff, installed, configured and its going just fine. Cheers

Somebody further up said to install SAMBA, that package is a Public Domain SMB server, which means ou can setup almost anypart of your Mac to be visible to the PC. There is a Samba Services Control Pannel which make the setup a snip.

This is a learning excercise I have installed MySQL (as per Marc Liyange notes) on my machines running 10.2.1. Now I have installed it, what the best way to start tinkering with it, i.e. get data into a database, search the database and get data out of it. What I need is some basic tools...
