It is possible to use fstab, BUT the syntax is not the samt as in other *nix distrubutions. To get a partition to moount properly you have to use the name of the partition. Like this: LABEL=Apps /Applications hfs rw 1 2 LABEL=User /Users hfs rw 1 2

Login on as root is safe due to the fact that you are on a local network. First you have to activate root on the machine you are going to log on to, NetinfoManager>security>enable root

Since you use ssh to acces the machine you might as well user sftp to transfer the files back to the machine you are sitting on. And there is a way to workaround the need to use the su command, that is by logging on as root via ssh.

Renaming the partitions so that they start with a dot [.] vill hide them in finder, untill they are activated. If you move to your home filder that partition will show up in finder, but as a greyed disc. Also your mount point will show up as symbolic links not as the folders they are.

As of 2003-01-18 the only ansver the server gives is: access denied. :mad: how come? i could download the previous version whithout any problem. :confused: So If anyone have the december 2002 devtools and is willing to share them please let me know.

Or you can use the finders go to folder command, and simply type /Volumes/<name of CD>

Start terminal. type: cd Desktop [enter] type: rm -rf <filename> [enter] This will remove the file.

I have done it. 1# create a file in /etc named fstab 2#place this line for each volume youo wish to mount. LABEL=[partition name] /[mount point] filesystem rw 1 2 EXAMPLE. LABEL=User /Users hfs rw 1 2

Here i a example, it is using 10.2 but you get the howto anyway http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020914100451316

It should be possible to do a direct cable connection between the two machines, the you have to make a gateway from the laptop but under osx it ain't that hard.

When iCal is set as a login item and told to hide after startup, it doesn't. well the dock icon gets greyed out, but the iCal window doesn't go away.:confused:

:confused: Somthing strange is happening.. Itunes refuses to add files to the Library if the files exists on the same partition as my users homedirectoy. If the files is located on any other partition they will be added without any problem. same problems for all users on the system.

There is a "simple" way of moving your /Users directory to another drive, and it is all done through the teminal. 1#Become root. : su - "passvord" 2# move your /Users directory : ditto -v -rsrc /Users /path-to-new-location (usually /Volumes/something.) 3#Renamne /Users : mv /Users...

You do not need to edit the rc file, but you need to create a partition to use as swappartition. in fstab insert a line looking like this: LABEL=vm /private/var/vm hfs rw 1 2 Entrys separated by tabs. If your swap volume is in ufs format just change the hfs entry to...

Att: GrBear The reason that I have a swap partition is because I built the system that way, but since it is mounted under "/private/var/vm" it should NOT be visible in finder.
