Hi, I've always perfered RPN (reverse Polish notation) calculators to regular arithmatic calculators because of how useful I find the stack. I've tried several different calculators, for the mac and pcs, and they all blow chunks. They're either ugly, short on function options, or just...

They'd have too. That's a great reason, huh? Apple would have a hard time getting developers to port anything over to macosx without global hotkeys. Oh, and the main reason its coming, is because global hotkeys alread exist. We just don't know how to get at them. Control-apple-restart...

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. You know how in windows you can just hit the control key and then you can navigate the menus with the arrow keys and select menuItems with the return key? Well, I think MacOSX needs that too. I don't necessarially think it should be on the base builds of OSX (I've...

I mean, I'm not trying to diss you or anything, but so what? Someone tell me if that wasn't obvious. It's a sort of there thing that really doesn't seem to matter. Is OS 9.1 that much better than OS9.04? And if so, why not trash OS9.04 and just not use classic.. Then just boot in 9.1. If...

Printing (for the most part) isn't supported yet (aka epson and hp haven't written/released the appropriate drivers as of yet). March 24th can't come soon enough... HTH, F-bacher

Well, that\'s about as suprising as saying booting up in safe moe in windows is \"safe.\" Single user mode is a debugging mode that you to fix problems with your system. When you exit out of it, you exiting out of single user/debug mode. So that message isn\'t telling you anything useful...

It's really stupid but it works: just move the Dock app out of the Core Services folder (I think; I can't check because my brother is playing TA right now on my OSX machine). ANywhere will do. Apple has some kind of script running that auto launches the dock... oh, but if it can't find the...

Actually, I need to only use Darwin. The idea is that you have a machine somehwere and you have Darwin intalled on a CD. You boot from the CD and the CD automatically connects you to a server that downloads the gziped iso file. You ungzip it and then u unmount it, copy it over to the...

Does anyone know how to mount iso images in Darwin? I can't figure it out. I know FreeBSD has vnconfig, and I think all other *nix's do as well... except for Darwin... AND IT PISSING ME OFF!!! Any body got an idea? I try to recompile vnconfig for Darwin, but I can't get it to recognize a...

I'm pretty sure powerpc will do the trick. F-bacher

Or if you want it to do it securely do this: If you have a file on your computer you want to move to your other computer (aka the one at home, you're on the road), pull up a terminal window and type in: scp [file to transfer [username]@[remote machine's ip]:[file to transfer] If you...

See if it's actually another partition that you can see in Drive Setup. Also, searching for .img files with the same name won't work - usaully they rename the file aka if u make a disk image called Bob, the actual .img file could be called hello.img. So, u really should be searching by kind...

Or, if you own a computer with internet capabilities, sign up for freedrive.com and get 50 MEGS FREE! I had the Quake 3 Arena installer up on my freedrive for some time so I coulc play it whereever I went on campus :) F-bacher

Okay, do you remember the finder from OS9 and below. That was the biggest, largest ram hog EVER-20MB+. It sucked up more ram than some of my games. I believe the WindowManager takes up 10MB of RAM. Infact, if you run top at the terminal prompt and watch how WindowManager responds to you...

Prinitng isn't working yet. "WHAT???" Settle down. This is an HP thing. Apple has no control over it. "Will there be printint?" If not, I guess I'll have to install LinuxPPC again. There will be printing, but the companies that make your printers also need to make your drivers. So...

If we could freakin have an OSX CD that would let you boot onto the CD and do stuff (aka more than just install OSX).... I'm so hoping they make that the standard way you install OSX, sort of like the way OS9 and below lets you boot on the CD and then decide if you want to install OSX or mot...

Question: Do you want a GUI or not? The way I have my system set up right now, I ca login to my computer from any other computer with a connection to the internet... and has an ssh client. "What's an ssh client?" Simply put, it's telnet but secure, which allows you to rempotely connect to...

You can just boot into single user mode by holding down "s" at startup, or if u prefer, just hold down "v" and then login as >console at the login screen. Probably as close as you're going to get without dedicating a partition to only Darwin. F-bacher

But what about Quartz and all those other goodies? You'd have to implement those as well. You CAN, but you'd need what apple has: the source code. You can switch between Darwin and OSX to ur heart's delight with >console at the login screen for OSX. F-bacher

use "renice number app", where number is between -20 and 20, with -20 giving highest priority. HTH, F-bacher
