    BitchX

    You have to set your path properly in your .cshrc file e.g. set path = ( \ ~/bin \ /usr/local/bin \ /usr/local/sbin \ -- Add more here ) Also add an alias to BitchX-1.0c19 by adding "alias BitchX-1.0c19 bx" in your .cshrc file that way you just do a bx, instead of BitchX. Easy.

    DIVX playback problem

    I've had the same problem. I narrowed it down to this: - an error occurred when you downloaded the file, it was truncated or something or was not completed. When you use AVI2MOV tool it places alot of really bad large square pixels that don't change and hence can't be viewed properly -...

    Quicktime under Classic Accelerated?!?

    Well this is odd, I play divX movies (anime) a lot and have reverted to playing divX on a windows 98 laptop (simply because it runs without any lag what so ever, 550MHz Celeron, 64MB RAM). I btw have a PowerBook G3 Lombard 333MHz (Yes, no Graphics acceleration), 256MB RAM faster 20GB IBM...

    Maybe I'm a moron, but here's what I am doing...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't all iBooks pre-white ones came with only the ATI-RagePro LT? not the Rage128 mobility that's included in the white iBooks. Eh considering no hardware acceleration yet on Mac OS X. I would strongly suggest you to rethink that idea.. if this is true - you're...

    what software for dealing w/ .r or .rar files?

    Stuffit Expander does it. Just place all the segmented files in a single folder, then drag and drop the *.rar file onto Stuffit Expander, it should then automatically join the file together. Make sure you have all the parts or else Expander will complain and say like the file is corrupt.

    HOW TO: look like a hacker :)

    Well usually for complilations README's are included for help. Have you ./configure --any-options? You usually have to do that prior to "make", make install just installs the binaries to /usr/bin/

    Have you tried deleting the prefs yet? The preference file could have been corrupted, in which case move'em to the trash then reboot.

    depending on your current mac model, you should be able to boot into osx by holding down "x" during a reboot.

    Installing New Graphics Card On Laptop

    Actually this has been done before... Prior to the Lombard Series (wallstreet/mainstreet models), iXMicro (now defunct) made the ixMicro Road Rocket - which allowed Powerbooks to work with monitor spanning. Essentially the card was just a 4MB video card which fitted in the PC-Card slots, at the...

    Fink install

    The binary is at "/sw/bin/fink" so you could do a: [localhost:~] jackass% sudo /sw/bin/fink install gimp Have you included /sw/bin/init.csh in your .cshrc file? You need to place it at the very top of your .cshrc file "source /sw/bin/init.csh" You need to include that then type "rehash" to...

    FileSharing Startup in OS9

    I've had this problem, if you look at the help center, even Apple provides some solution. 1. Delete Filesharing prefs. Restart. 2. Delete Users and Groups folder. Restart. 3. Zap P-RAM. 4. Re install System. Things I've found that worked sometimes. Disconnect the ethernet cable, from...

    Virtual PC 5.0 SPEED !

    You're using VPC under OS X? if this is the case, yes it is slow - switch to OS 9 and feel the difference in speed! I've installed NT4 Workstation with service pack 5 and its darn faster than Win98 could ever be, so you could try changing OS's. OS 9 allows VPC to "hog" all cpu time, well most of...
