    Prebinding

    Ok, I have seen several references to prebinding... Since I am not a developer, I have a limited understanding of how anything like this works. When you say prebind your system, what exactly are you talking about? And one final question? Why, if this speeds up your system so much, why...

    Is Mail COCOA?

    I was confused as to what folks actually meant when mentioning openstep or nextstep. I knew that window managers like Windowmaker and Afterstep were derivations of Nextstep but I was not sure if it was just another window manager I hadn't seen(ie. commercial) or if it was some old apple...

    TAB in terminal, more than just ``ls''

    Tab is used in tcsh for the lazy typer(me). lets say you want to change directories to /usr/local/bin you could type cd /uTAB/loTAB/bTAB and it would fill in the rest of the letters for you... assuming you don't have the anything in those particular directories that might also match...

    carbon vs cocoa

    Ok here goes... forgive my ignorance but... What is the difference between a cocoa app and a carbon app? Is one of these the so called os X native app that folks talking about or is it something different. My guess is that cocoa is an app compiled under OS X using all the cool aqua...

    DHCP vs. MacOS X [?]

    I was having a similar problem with my powerbook. I have an Ascend Pipeline 75 ISDN router that I set to act as the DCHP server. All of my windows boxes could get their assigned IP's just fine, and even my powerbook could when I had OS 9.2.2 running. But once I went in OS X, I couldn't get...

    Anyone able to...

    Should have run a search first... Silly me. Got this from Mac Hints at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020306201859628 The modem scripts for Nokia phones (Nokia_IR and Nokia Infrared) supplied with 10.1 don't seem to work (I'm currently on 10.1.3 and this hasn't been...

    changing shell resulting in ftp problem?

    Did you install it via Fink or did you download it from the Apple website. I tried it both ways, and while the shell itself worked just fine when I used Fink, I didn't like that it installed itself in /sw and all in all in it didn't offer any insight with how to make the environment complete...

    Assign Specific PID

    have the same pid everytime? you could make the script lookup the pid for it everytime it restarts its.... for example #!/bin/sh kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid` this will lookup the pid of that process(if it writes in the that location) like FreeBSD does and cause it to restart. If...

    he made it sound like it was a keyboard key that he couldn't find... like a percent key or a backspace key... My bad.

    Disk Defragmentation on X?

    I personally don't think that apple should bundle it with the OS. If they want to produce one, that works, but lets not become a Microsoft here. By adding every single tool you would ever need into the OS, you stifle the after market developement of utiliites... Now I have no idea how good the...

    hash key!

    What he said.... Describe what you are talking about... Hash is either a potato like substance that is grated and cooked in butter, or an associative array(like in perl). I haven't actually heard of a hash key...

    How to print from mac os x across win98 pc network

    Bottom line is this... You can't share a printer using the normal means of printer sharing in windows... you have to install the Unix LPR printing utilities. I doubt Win 98 has this ability, but 2k and XP do. Once you enable the LPR printer spool and you share the appropriate printer...

    Mac OSX and DHCP

    I assume that it is a bridge of somesort, but I am not sure whether or not its a direct bridge. One reason I might discount that theory is that I also tried to get an address assigned by plugging in directly to the hub via the enet port on the powerbook. My friend is using a different...

    Mac OSX and DHCP

    Well I have messed with this for long enough. I was simply frustrated that I couldn't get it to work with DHCP. fortunately for me, I have a /29 subnet so I can statically assign the IP's. I am sure you all know my frustration... getting something that you know should work, but doesn't...

    Mac OSX and DHCP

    In the TCP/iP tab, the only thing I put in there was some search order domains, but I tried deleting those too...no joy As for the PPPoE, nothing is in there because its not DSL or IDSL, its ISDN. The router does all the work here, its transparent to all the computers, the computers just...

    Mac OSX and DHCP

    Hi all, Hoping for some insight... I have 3 computers, 2 PC's and Powerbook. They connect to the internet through an Ascend Pipeline 75 ISDN router. I also have an SMC access point for airport access on the powerbook. With the exception of the Powerbook, the router, SMC, and 2 pc's are...
