Hi! I'm supporting an OpenOffice 2.0 installation on a Mac mini (PPC) running OS X 10.4.5. OO runs just fine but I noticed some fonts weren't available in Writer (the word processor). I did some poking around and learned about the "spadmin" command that can be used to install fonts. I ran...

Thanks! You rock! I'll give this a try and will let you know how it goes. :D Peace...

Hi! Hopefully this will be an easy one to answer. :) I'm configuring a Mac mini (PPC) running OS X 10.4.5 (Tiger) to connect to a G4 (I think) based server running OS X 10.3. I can go into Finder on the Mac mini and connect to the server and mount the volume I want and the icon for it...

Thanks! I figured OS X would be able to deal with SIT files, considering that's a Mac format. :) I'll give this a try! Yippee!!!! :D Peace...

Wow, I didn't know smbfs was supported on OS X. I thought it was supported only on Linux. Thanks for the info! Peace...

It's funny you mention DarwinPort since I found a thread where someone had the exact same problem as you on OpenDarwin.org. :) Good luck! Peace...

It looks like you need to get to the bottom of this: src/insert_ipo.c:40: warning: 'struct ipoption' declared inside parameter list src/insert_ipo.c:41: error: conflicting types for 'insert_ipo' src/../include/./libnet/libnet-functions.h:389: error: previous declaration of 'insert_ipo' was...

Yuck. That kind of datatype compilation problem isn't cool at all. The source possibly isn't written in a way that's portable to OS X. It might make assumptions about target platforms and not have defined its datatypes properly. You might be able to fix it by making a small tweak to sha.c...

You need to get this library installed, which means you will need to have FreeType installed. I don't know where you can get OS X binaries for FreeType. Peace...

Gotcha. Sorry for the confusion. :) Peace...

Ok, in the very long BootCamp thread in the news and rumors forum, there is mention of BootCamp being required on Intel-based Macs since XP needs a BIOS to boot and can't use the EFI that the Macs use (apparently). There was a comment made that BootCamp would permit Linux to run on an...

Currently, there is controversy over the Gimp UI behaving more like PhotoShop in all aspects. (Hence Gimpshop). Additionally, Gimp doesn't support the print-work related functions PhotoShop does nor does it do a couple of other things PhotoShop does that PhotoShop users who tried Gimp say are...

He should change his avatar to the grim reaper or something. :) I think this is a great point since it identifies something I think needs to be kept in consideration. With this latest move Mac != MacOS. This move further distinguishes Mac hardware from the Mac OS (people basically ignored...

Does that also introduce the possibility of OS X being prohibited from being run on the machine, by the same boss? I would think if one were to convince their boss buying a Mac is a good investment, it would be to get OS X available for the user of that machine since they would already have...

The thing is, doesn't VirtualPC or similar apps solve this problem much better? I have a screenshot somewhere on my machine of Windows 98 (or maybe NT) running alongside Lotus Notes for Windows side-by-side on my Linux box. I would think being able to run Windows AND Linux at the same time...

Ok, I've downloaded Palm Desktop 4.2.1 (a SIT file) and when I double click it to open it, it tries to run Word. The icon for the file I downloaded does have a "W" in it, along with the other graphics. An expired Word trial is installed on the machine (Mac mini) and after I cancel the opening...

Is JavaScript disabled by default in Safari? Peace...

Great! Thanks! Peace...

I don't know how the backup app was run but the status window does appear and I have seen "Backup" in bold next to the APPLE in the top menu bar, so maybe the "Force Quit" will work. I'll try that out. One problem I've run into when manually killing programs on Unix is killing one process won't...

Sounds good. Not being a Mac user primarily, how do I force the backup app down? Do I open a terminal, find process and kill it via "kill" or is there an element in the GUI to kill apps for me? I looked at /var/log/system.log and didn't see anything that jumped out at me, but I'll take...
