it's in your apache conf file, if you can find it. Unfortunately i don't know where that is since it's not in a standard *nix location and it's not named httpd.conf like it would be on any other system. That's something they should add to the GUI, even if they don't want to include advanced...

Find someone with a DNS server to point to you or install BIND yourself. I reccommend going with the first option unless you want a whole new set of headaches that you never bargained before. do you have a static IP with your internet provider? If so, great. If not, you will probably need...

Unless you're planning to quit using your computer as a workstation and just play server on it, stick with HFS+. UFS is a "flat" file system and does not allow for the same information that HFS+ stores for its files. The effect is that you lose a lot of information that is stored in your files...

Personally I like the current dock as a basic design. you both have some good points. I like the idea of having it stretch across the bottom of the screen all the way with the trash on the far right, and clicking on an app icon to show the currently open windows is another good idea, though I...

I believe it's because the Java engine for the OS isn't finished yet. If I remember right, IE actually gives you a warning about it if you turn Java on.

Third-party printers (such as Epson) will not be supported under OS X until the third parties write printer drivers for it. The only reason why it shows up in your OS 9 chooser is because you installed the software for it, and there is no such software out for X yet. unfortunately, most of the...

I don't know where you would put a cgi-bin to have that active; I could find out if I could find the actual httpd.conf file. You don't need to copy perl anywhere. It's already installed where it should be. Your scripts should reference #!/usr/bin/perl The computer can be made...

Well I updated to 6.0.4 a long time ago... Apple doesn't reccommend you run 6.0 without at least the 6.0.3 updater at all. I personally haven't had any problems with it under X but then I haven't done much with it... since I can't print from X and I didn't use AppleWorks for much to begin with...

Actually so far I've seen that all two-button mice have the right mouse button working... the scroll wheel even works in some apps on my iSweet Net. I'd like to be able to map the button to different modifiers like the Macally drivers let me do under 9, but that's something that will wait until...

In the "General" section of system preferences you have your choice between Aqua and Graphite, as well as your choice of hilight colors. Currently those are the only options you have (in addition to changing your desktop picture).

Right now you have two choices. You can either install OS X on the same partition as OS 9, or you can back up your data, erase the HD, put it in two partitions, then reinstall OS 9 on one and OS X on the other. It's not that you can't partition your startup disk; you can't partition ANY disk...

Well my guess would be that any security issue that BSD has, OS X would inherit as well. Which is why those open ports have me worried... that was something nice about OS 9; it didn't have those ports. Which is why that scan has me concerned. I don't like having ports open when I don't know...

Hmmm that's a good question... let's find out... [darkmoon@jezebel darkmoon]$ nmap violet Starting nmap V. 2.53 by fyodor@insecure.org ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): (The 1518 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port...

If a lower-end beige G3 is going for $800, then why NOT get a brand-new iMac/350? Or better yet save even more and get the last rev of them (the blueberry 350s)? Then with 128-192mb of RAM. That will still be cheaper (and faster) than your beige G3 especially once you've taken the cost of the...

Well given that tar actually stands for "Tape ARchive" it's not that weird. :) That's pretty much the same behavior it has on any *nix system. You just have to get used to using the f flag all the time.

I'm also an AOL beta testers... their software currently will not dial out under X so you do have to connect with an alternate TCP/IP connection... combined with the fact that Classic doesn't like the network when you're connected via PPP, it's pretty much have ethernet access of some sort or...

I've found that to be the case with my iMac DV... but I've also found that you need to plug the "something else" in the headphone jack AFTER the computer boots, otherwise that doesn't work either. I hope this is something that's being worked on?

The serial port (printer/modem) on the beige boxes is not supported under OS X. you need to use either a USB printer, a network printer (appltalk and LPR both work), or just print from classic. The way to do the last of these is to do a print preview, save the preview as...

You didn't say whether you had tried to set the System Disk utility once you removed OS X. Try that first; put the OS X CD in the drive, go to the utilities folder, and run system disk. Click on your OS 9 system folder, then close the window. If that doesn't work, you can try resetting PRAM...

The BSD layer will not be an optional install; it is the base of the OS. The CLI I haven't heard anything about it being not included, but that one could potentially be optional. My hope is that the development tools will be an option as well so I can run my BSD applications on the computer...
