Apple publishes specs for RAM--if his RAM didn't match the specs, then Apple certainly didn't say it would work on his system. The RAM vendor said it would, but that's not the same. And no, there's no solid reason that jag should work on any system that 10.1.5 worked on, unless the system is...

Sorry to hear. Your hard drive is unlikely to be the problem, it's probably the memory. There have been a number of incidents reported of people whose 512MB cards would not work with Jaguar on a G3 PB. Many have not had the problem, suggesting that it's an issue with memory that isn't quite up...

Apple doesn't provide a simple way to enable telnet logins on port 23. This is probably because telnet is not nearly as secure as ssh, which uses port 22 (and which is easily enabled with a check box in the System Preferences). If you really want telnet enabled on your box, you'll have to...

I read that article, and it seems to apply only to G3's. You didn't say what Mac you use, but I have been running both 10.1.5 and 10.2 on two partitions of my PBG4/800 without noticing a problem. I do have two separate OS 9 installations, though. I occasionally have to use Classic, and 10.1.5...

I'm not familiar with Liteswitch (whew! forgot the name, and this reply page doesn't show the thread title /anywhere/ I can find, but somebody luckily mentioned the name in their post!), as I've used ProgramSwitcher (in 9), now Keyboard Maestro (in X). There are obviously some LiteSwitch fans...

I think I got pdisk to work for me (I wanted to combine a couple of the partitions on my TiBook's internal drive) by booting single-user from an OS X CD. I don't remember all the variations I tried before finding one that works, but this one finally worked for me. Let's see now, I set the CD...

I think if you fiddle around you can get it done. Probably the important thing is to put a Mac file system on the linux partition. I'd first try running Disk Utility to see if I could erase that partition to HFS Extended format--if so, you should be on your way. Then use Disk Utility to Mount...

For startup items, provided they are packaged according to Apple's specifications (there's a tech note on it). Items in /Library/StartupItems will be launched on boot (not requiring a login, so they can't be e.g. Carbon or have a Mac user interface). Items in ~user/Library/StartupItems will be...

Go to www.versiontracker.com Select OS X Type VNC in the search box Click search Look for 'VNCThing' It's working native in OS X for me.

Port 1033 is netinfod on OS X. You probably shouldn't see port 1033 open on a Linux box. I haven't seen 670x open on my machine. To see what program is listening on a port, use lsof. For port 6700, type this in Terminal: sudo lsof -i :6700 Type your password when asked. Look for a line...

Since you didn't specify, I'll assume both your Macs are running OS X. If you want to use Appletalk, Apple says to be sure you only have Appletalk turned 'on' for one network 'port' (in the 'Show' popup) of the Network preferences. For TCP/IP networking, maybe you can give more details of how...

The 'su' command requires the password of the root account (which must be enabled), not your password. The command 'sudo -s' does almost exactly the same thing as 'su' except it asks for *your* password, and doesn't require you to enable the root account.

If you're using AirPort wireless, you can use a manual IP address if you wish. The AirPort Base Station supports this. I don't know if it will work with a wired connection to the Barricade, it depends on whether the Barricade supports it like the Base Station does. Normally, AirPort is...

Sorry, HP AIO Comm is just shorthand so I didn't have to keep spelling out 'HP All-in-one Communications' (see my first paragraph). Once I got my G85 so it would print, I had no trouble scanning, running HP Director and choosing scan, fax, etc. I'm afraid that I have no other ideas for you.

I have a G85 instead of a G55, but am guessing it works basically the same. The main problem I faced is that the install did not set up the application "HP All-in-one Communications" to launch at logon, and nothing will work unless it's running. You mention eliminating 'every other' entry in the...
