So two days ago, my PowerBook died on me. I don't know why, but it did. And it wouldn't turn on until i plugged it into the charger, and into a wall. Then it said the battery was empty. But I know the battery was at 25% (at least 30min of uptime) momments before it died. So I start it up, and...

Sooo, can anyone tell me how I can get verbose booting? As in, the usual unix booting text as it starts up. Usually you would just hold down a certain key upon boot, to ignore fancy booting/loading graphics.

OK. So I have my gaming laptop hooked up to my powerbook, so it can share the airport extreme cards connection to my girlfriends wireless (1.5Mbps Cable) LAN. Then I start up Q3 on my pbook, and create a local dedicated server. As soon as I click the button to start the server, it drops me onto...

Erm, I tried to use my powerbook to host a Q3 game at a LAN party, but when I set it to be a "Dedicated Server" it would kick me off to the desktop, and freeze my mouse. I managed to get out using AppleKey+Tab and then force quitting Q3. So apparently, the Dedicated Server doesn't work. Can...

Thank you, rhg and elander. You guys at least seem to know what i'm talking about. And yes, I'm used to Linux.

I dunno if anyone pointed this out yet, since I didn't read the entire thread, but here is something important: You cannot compile the kernel to be as sleek and as fast booting as Linux. Well, you CAN compile Darwin, but I don't know of anyone that has. Nor do I think it would be very easy...

No, nobody seems to get it. I'm not talking about /etc/motd, and I'm not saying the file itself is important. There is a file, that /usr/bin/login executes before the prompt itself. The script that controls /usr/bin/login has a line that says 'cat /etc/issues' to print it out before it prints...

Erm, what I'm trying to say is, how would I get /etc/issues to work? I created /etc/issues myself, but it doesn't load before a login prompt. (like it should) I'm betting /etc/issues is just printed before login by some shell script that runs on start of a telnet/SSH connection. So that shell...

Okay, well I'm assuming that there is a script that gets loaded before /usr/bin/login and just performs 'cat /etc/issues'. This being an assumption... Sooo, does anyone know how to get /etc/issues working? And if that file exists, what it is? Guessing it's in /etc/ also. Hmm, anyone...? :p

/me sighs. That really isn't the point. I use the middle-button for tons of things in games, and no, I can't bind everything to the keyboard. In some games, my weapon-mode-switch is there. Or the scope. Or reload. While everything within reach of WASD is already binded to things I don't need...

I'm downloading the LCC right now. Oh, and what I meant by "re-generated" is that if you fsck around with your settings in the 'setup' menu of the game, it'll re-write the entire q3config (or at least portions of it). :p Update: It fixed the lag! But now... I have no middle-click! I can't...

First off, hidden files in unix have a dot in front of them. If you open Terminal.app and use a text editor like vi/emacs/pico to open /.hidden you will see a list of folders that are hidden from view. Running 'ls -ls /' will show you everything on your system. Open up Finder and take a look at...

First off, I am using a Logitech "Wheel Mouse" and the CD-ROM drivers are for OS9 only. Second, editting q3config won't do any good because it's re-generated on startup every time by the game. What's best to edit is /Applications/Quake3/baseq3/autoexec.cfg And I'm gonna' try manual X/Y...

Heh, it appears most people already know about it. Either way, I use it quite often, for almost everything. :p Just wanted to inform people who didn't know about it.
