After recently udgrading to Mac OS 10.1 server, I realized that the Login Window prefs won't stick. I would like to set it so the list of users with accounts appears in the login window (the view with the images) and "other user" if I ever need to log in as root. While I understand this is minor...

These are some of the things I would like to see in Appleworks 7 (in no particular order) 1) Quartz Text rendering. Yes, I'm spoiled by anti-aliased fonts. The fonts in AW 6 look sort of cheap against the rest of the OS. 2) Do something about the Styles pallette. There must be a better...

I seem to have a problem. I'm trying to get shoutcast server to work on my iMac. I've downloaded the binary from shoutcast and run via command line but when I check it on the shoutcast admin page it says the server is down. I've checked the "sc_serv.conf" file and everything seems to be in order...

Thanks for the help. The Color Classic doesn't need net access - it just needs to connect to the iMac through a terminal emulation program. If I really need the net I'll use lynx via the command line from the CC. Plus, I just the idea of being able to issue the "kill" command from my kitchen...

Hello all, Just a few questions here. I want to set it up so that both my colour classic and imac can share a cable internet connection. I'm going to pick up an Ethernet card for the CC this weekend at my local used mac dealer. My end goal is to turn the CC into a UNIX "dumb terminal" or to...

So assuming I go the route of using a terminal program on the IIsi, How then would I set up the terminal program on the IIsi and how would I configure Darwin on my iMac so that it would be able to serve terminals through the modem port on each machine? Once again, Thanks. The NetBSD sounds...

This is where i got the whole idea for the project from. It does go outside the contraints of the contest because it's not a genuine hardware terminal but I'm sure the concepts involved are not that much different. I'm doing it as a personal project so I won't even be entering. Maybe it will...

While I am sure that net BSD is a great system, I would prefer to use Darwin for this because frankly I'm very new to Unix and I need the Mac OS gui safety net if things get crazy :) That and hard drive constraints. When I get a new mac with a bigger hard drive I'll certainly consider putting...

I found some information here but it was more relevant to Linux. I'm no Unix guru so it's a bit difficult to apply the same idea to Mac OS X. Maybe someone could have a look at the article and reply back to the forum with some information. Regards, Eric

Here's an interesting question. How do I turn a IIsi into a terminal for an iMac running on Mac OS X? The IIsi doesn't have ethernet so my iMac and the IIsi would have to connect if possible by the modem port. Is there any way I can forego the Mac OS alltogether on the IIsi and have it be a...
