Whoops. Reading over this again, I realised I probably answered the wrong question. Look here for bash and sh variants, and here for tcsh and csh variants Hope _this_ helps :) -alex.

Simple answer: pwd Print Working Directory hope this helps! -alex

I'd suggest two things: 1) Archive and install. 2) Try the Sonnet cache program (whatever it's called... versiontracker knows the asnwer. I support a couple of G4-upgrades Biege G3's running jag, and have another at home (lots of XLR8 and Newer cards, too). Sometimes, a machine just won't...

I've got two suggestions for you: 1) Set up a cron job to chmod /Users/Shared every minute. 2) Change all your users to have the same UID. Neither one is perfect. The cron job will have a delay (of up to one minute) before the file is editable. The UID trick means that everyone will be...

Long story short: you need the dev tools. -alex.

Hmmm.... Sounds like an inconsistancy that fsck isn't handling properly. Do you own Norton or Drive 10? If so, now would be the time to run them. If not, well, you can probably get away with running like that for quite some time, if not forever. If you have a second drive and some time to kill...

Did you run fsck again? What did it say? If it returned with no problems then you're fine. As to the 'loop,' well, like I said, if it's not hapening over and over again (that is to say with multiple invocations of fsck) then it's no big deal. As a guess, it fixed the volume file count, then...

Easy there folks, this isn't really a big deal. The system crashed. Filesystem i/o events were interrupted. Inconsistencies were introduced into the filesystem. On reboot, fsck found and repaired the inconsistencies. This is why fsck is run after an abnormal shutdown. When you start to...

I'm glad you went ahead and did it, chorus of naysayers aside. This has worked since ~System 7.5, and it even worked in 10.0 (IIRC). I would have thought that this doesn't need to be in the FAQ since everybody knows you can read/write FAT32 partitions on a mac, but apparently.... Anyway...

-Create a default/template user -Log in as that user and customize -Copy the template folder to the new user name -Create the new user. This should work, but you may have to reverse the last two steps, and you may have to manually change the ownership of the new user's home...

In OSX Server: yes, in client: no. You had the right idea. Change it in netinfo manager. The one caveat is that you then have to go and chown the home directory, becuase it will still be owned by the old UID. (make sure to use chown -R). I've done this many times on the systems I manage, I'm...

The command line ftp downloads to whatever your current working directory is. When you first launch a shell (aka: start the terminal) your working directory is your home directory. You can determine what your current working directory is by typing "pwd" (Print Working Directory). So, you can...

Well, I also think the Radeons are your best bet, but with one important caveat: There is a bug in the ATI driver that will cause a 10.1.x system to kernel panic on boot, and a 10.2.x system to just hang if the system has more than 1GB of RAM. I've seen (and confirmed, and reported) this bug in...

I wouldn't worry too much. the first bunch of lines seem to be script kiddies probing for IIS vulnerabilities (of courese. since you're not running winblows, you don't have any). The last line is a CodeRed variant trying to spread (also something you don't have to worry about). So chances are...

Some other things that may be at play: -Every spped advantage that OSX has, FreeBSD has it beat. It's a similar core, but without the microkernel overhead or the aqua stuff that mach alows. Try that same compile in a MS environment, I bet it'll be slower... -Compiler optimization. If I'm...

I've seen this work fine plenty of times with zip and jaz disks, there's no reason it shouldn't scale to a large firewire drive. You could also get software on the PC side to mount HFS+ volumes. There is definately commercial software that does this, and there may be [free|share]ware...

There is a bug in the ATI drivers that prevent the machine from starting up if you have more than 1GB of RAM. I realize you have 1GB (not more) but despite the fact that the bug is acknowledged as being >1GB, I have at least one machine that I deal with at work that will not boot with more than...

No prob. Out of curiousity, did you update to 10.2.1? Or are you once bitten twice shy... Also, after a few days (or so) after you're sure you have everything you need, you'll probably want to trash the Previous System folder to save space. Glad you're up and running :) -alex.

Hmm.. can't upgrade... That sucks. (Must be new for 10.2.x, this worked for 10.1.[1-5]). I guess it's time for the Archive and Install. As long as you select the option to keep Users and network settings it's not _too_ bad. Once it's done, the first thing you should do is move your Users...

Just like davidbrit2 said: run the Jaguar install disks and do an Upgrade install. To make sure you are doing an Upgrade (which should be the default, but it pays to double check) proceed through the first few screens (Hello, blah blah blah, license agreement) until you get an "Options" button...
