That's odd. OSX boots fine on my Beige G3. It's slower by far than my G4, but it runs fine. Here's something to try. when you install, don't install the optional BSD components. They seemed to screw things up quite a bit for me the first time I tried installing 4k46

Here's and easy one to do, and quite enjoyable. to change the boot screen in OSX replace the file "BootPanel.pdf" in the Folder "System-Library-Core Services-Resources" with a 640x480 pdf picture renamed "BootPanel.pdf" To change the login screen, replace the "loginpanel.tiff" in...

apparently you can;t use greater than or less than symbols, it make everything inside of them disappear, so I'll use parenthasis. format is: ln -s (thing you want to link) (where you want to link it to)

ln -s /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/gcc this should do it. The format is. ln -s <thing you want to link> <where you want to link it>

but don't you have to be a developer to be able to download the dev tools? If not, where's the web site to go to to get them?

XFree86 is the X-windows system. It lets you run X-windows applications. Xvnc is an app that lets you use a vnc viewer to work with the XFree86 that you have already installed. This is really slow however, because it has to use VNC and TCP/IP instead of just looking at your X-Windows. I'm...

I've been trying for some time now to be able to export a directory from Darwin to other *nix computers with NFS. I've set the exports in the NetInfo database, started the apppropriate daemons and still no go. I've even tried a program called NFSManager that I found on Versiontracker.com...

scruffy is right. cc is gcc, but you redbird is wrong in saying that you need to be an ADC member to get them. They Darwin1.2 installer comes with everything you need to compile pretty much anything. I was able to get them installed by running the Darwin installer and then the OSX installer...

that's odd. I too have a windows2000 server and MacOSX PB. on my W2K box I have two folders shared, the default one that windows makes when you enable sharing to Macs and on I created with the File Sharing Wizard. Both can be seen fine from all of my macs OSX or OS9. I'm thinking the problem...

I have a pro keyboard and mouse and both work fine uder OSX. No, the extra keys will not work under OSX. That is something that needs to be added to the OS. I doubt it is yet,but I'm sure it will be. You can rest assured that anything Steve says at a keynote will be well supported.

I've heard of this problem before. Are you sure you're using a CD from apple and not one that has been made into a Toast Image and then put onto a CD-R?

I was a little excited about this so I wrote the USGS on the subject. Here is their reply. When exposed to air, titanium metal develops a protective oxide film on its surface. At elevated temperatures (about 480 degree C (900 F), the oxide layer builds up to give a blue color. Unless...

well, since OSX keeps all of it's user info in the netinfo database, all you have to do is delete this file. then reinstall OSX. It will create a new NI database and you will need to enter a new password that should work just fine. This will work fine, granted you haven't edited the NI...
