I'm setting up a backup system using hfspax and cron, and am wondering what directories I should back up to make recovery the easiest. I don't want to back up everything, because given the change for a clean install, I'd rather keep as much of the new install as possible, and just restore my...

I stand corrected. Long may the shadow wander... :) E

First off: Excellent tutorial, thank you very much. i've been having so many problems with slow DNS lookups - just what I needed. Also - if you have an 'always on' internet connections, and want to automate the updating of root.hints add this to the /etc/crontab file (it's 2 lines, may wrap...

This thread reminded me that I had an internal ZIP100 drive in my old Pc. I pulled it out, installed it into my quicksilver (10.1), and it reads and writes my old PC formatted zip disks just fine... (in limited testing). ah the fun of going though old backups :) E

I think if you just move the quicken data file to your home directory (or somewhere within), you should be ok. but I'm not 100% sure, and you may have tried this already... E

so I bought it and it's pretty good. the fact that it can import pretty much any file is excellent, and while the options are a bit more basic than Office - for $70 it does the job quite well. E

I've been running Quicken Deluxe 2002 out of my applications folder fro about a week now. And the quicken data is also stored there... I'm logged in as the admin user if that changes things. E

I've been using Maill for about a month now, and while it's "OK" I'd really like something a little more robust - featurewise. vut also somethign that is nice and stable. I think I'm out of luck at this point in time, but was just wondering what any big time emailers out ther are using. E

I haven't been able to find any, but I was wondering if there was any VPN software for OS X? I do a lot of telecommuting and it would make things much nicer :) If anybody knows of anything, or even companies to talk to, I'm open for suggestion. E

heh - thanks for the tips. And here I thought I was onto something. E

I gave it a shot: PID COMMAND %CPU 318 yes 36.1% 319 yes 36.1% doesn't seem to work. I even tried with nice -20 and nice +20, and the results were still the same. E

I'm moving from Windows to OS X, and loving every second of it. My only drawback (i thought) was that I'd have to reburn my mp3's from all of my CD's (4000+ songs). but when I attached the Hd I had in my Pc to my Apple and booted up - it seemed to work just fine (PC drive was partitioned in...

wow - fink rules. thanks! E

I didn't know you had to open a new terminal window - that's all I needed to do (/bin was already in my path). But thanks muchly for the PATH tips - I'd always wondered how it worked. E

Ahhhhhh - thank you muchly. One question tho. I copied the 'wget' file into '/bin' - but don;t know how to add it to the path so that I can just type 'wget' as oppsed tp '/bin/wget' . any tips? E

Actually - you can choose a custom picture. there is alist of regular stuff (cats (pumas, cheetas, etc - get it?), landscapes, various X's), but you can also open finder and select a picture. I didn't try it so I dunno if it resizes it and whatnot. E

figured out my own problem. I'm using the pages from my 'Sites' directory, and had to edit the /private/etc/httpd/users/username.conf to have the 'Options' line have 'Includes' then a quick apache restart and my develpoment environment is complete :) E

so it does have to be specifically specified to work in the user directories! that was the pointer I needed. Danke mucho, yo. the trick was to edit the /private/etc/httpd/users/username.conf the Options line there needed to have includes added to it. shoulda looked there sooner. E

leswoods - did you manage to get SSIs working? I've gone throgh all the steps myself but they won't work in my Sites directory. E
