Look in the unix newbie section - there is a reply there.

Turns out that you have to click on the padlock on the bottom of the window so that it prompts you for the password. Userbility issue anyone?

I have just tried installing the developer tools and was refused because I have to be administrator, which is strange since I am clearly listed as admin in the users control panel. Any ideas?

I have a second disk in my computer, which is formatted using a PC partition format. Under Linux I would mount this as /dev/hdb1. Does anyone know how I would do this with MacOS X?

Not having MacOS X in front of me, maybe someone could confirm whether the following solves the problem: rm -f myfile Its a command line solution that works on most Unix platforms, so maybe on MacOS X?

The choice between toast and cd-record will always be a personal choice. The important thing, I see with Toast being ported to MacOS X, is that we have alternative for those people comfortable with command line. BTW There are graphical front ends that have been written for X-windows, such as...

Appletalk problems aside, why not use NFS? - it works and will probably save you some headaches.

Typical, just as post my question I get my reply. Apparently there is an alpha version downloadable from the following URL: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/macos-x/ with the homepage for the project being at...

Has anyone managed to get cdrecord working on Darwin or MacOS X?

I downloaded Bochs for MacOS pre-X the other day and I felt that there are a few things that will need to be done to Bochs to make it work even better: - increase the limit on the disk image size - add a routine to auto calculate the the `HD` params based on a disk image created by Disk Copy...

It would be much better to run Bochs straight on MacOS X, rather than through classic, as you are going to get a major performance hit otherwise. The source code for Bochs, which happens to open source (thanks to Mandrake Soft) is available at ftp://ftp.bochs.com/. There is another project...

If the all imporant libraries are already ported then there is no reason you can't try compiling GAIM yourself, though you'll have to make sure that you have installed the associated headers of the libraries that you have installed. I would give compiling a go, but I don't have MacOS X...

Does anyone know what partition types and file systems are support by MacOS X / Darwin. I am especially interested in knowing if the PC style partition table is supported and whether the ext2 filesystem is also supported, either via a third party add on or directly?

Could someone tell me whether MacOS X has support for the ext2 file system, used by Linux? Failing that does anyone have a list of file systems support by the default install of MacOS X and a list of sources for adding support for other file systems on the Mac.

Could someone tell me whether the postscript printer driver under MacOS X will recognise the "Postscript Printer Definition" files supplied for any given model under MacOS 9? If so is there a place I should be placing them?

As stated that white bar is the menubar, Mac programs share one menu bar located at the top of the screen. At the same time I do feel that the Apple logo can be done away with, it is one of those things that new users are going complain about when clicking on it results in no action whatsoever.

Could someone tell me whether MacOS X PB supports the icon format used by OpenStep and MacOS X?

shadowblue89, since I don't have MacOS X in front of me, I haven't had the chance to try out ShowDrives. When the drives and the trash appear on the desktop, can you organize them like any other icon, or are there some limitations. I just hope Apple bundles this with MacOS X, either in the...

Only having used MacOS X PB very quickly in a shop, I was wondering whether it is possible to put the trash bin on the desktop where it should be? The dock seemed a mighty odd place for it?
