    Updating a 500Mhz iBook to Jaguar

    The 10.2 will install with no previous version of X. When you've got 10.2 installed head on over not to Software Updates but rather to apple.com/swupdates and burn the stuff onto your favorite media. Get the combo for 10.2.8, after that go ahead and do software updates if you want. For...

    [HOWTO] Quickly close tabs in Safari

    This might be obvious but did not see it here doing a search on the howto forum. Was also inspired by Bob's close all tabs tip, very cleaver. The Tip: command + w = close one tab at a time in a window, not so fast or you close out that last window, works faster for me than aiming the cursor...

    GIMP - Best way to install?

    You can say that again. A mod needs to sticky instructions for x11 and programs. It's so easy with Panther, newbie instructions at least. I don't think I even saw easier instructions in the How To board. Anyway, glad to hear everything works.

    GIMP - Best way to install?

    ByerlyRips, Geesh did I forget to tell you to also get gimp from Fink Commander. Naodx I had no idea that I didn't need xfree86. Gimp and FilmGimp still work, I'm still learning all this as well. Didn't realize that x11 in Panther is all I needed with Fink and Fink Commander. Making more...

    GIMP - Best way to install?

    There arerecent threads regarding this, this helped me out a lot. These are Panther instructions Download x11 the Panther version not the beta if you did not check that on the install option with Panther from Apple's site. Install X11 SDK .pkg from the xCode cd in the subfolder, I think...

    Help! I need to install GNOME.

    naodx and Mr. K, Thanks much for the time and effort. Gimp and Filmgimp are working fine. Something I wish I knew before all this started that I don't need Gnome at all for these programs to work. That may seem obvious to both of you but a program without an OS behind it didn't even come...

    Help! I need to install GNOME.

    Thanks Mr. K. for the link, ironically it happens to be the same link as the original poster had given as their tutorial. It also relies on xfree86 which to my understanding is no longer needed, even harmful under x11 for Panther. I went through the tutorial ignoring the xfree86 stuff and for...

    Film Gimp, anyone try?

    Just wanted to know if anyone has tried Film Gimp, general thoughts and peformance versus on a Linux box. Is X11 emulating within OSX, or is X11 apps running as fast as Linux native? Not sure what's happening under the box. hehe. I'm still downloading Gnome as we speak, but was wondering if...

    Gimp in X11 [Panther]

    Just wanted to add that the x11SDK is in the Packages folder as a seperate file on the xCode CD to be run. Use Fink Commander to grab gnome, what a great little app.
