    keeping it fast..G4 500mhzDP

    The "perfessor"'s right, just one note on RAID 5, just so long as RAID 5 is hardware RAID 5 and not handled in software by the computer. RAID 5 is a big overhead.

    Extracting files from an iso.

    Using "terminal" This is the long winded way. Change directory to where the ISO image is located cd /Volumes ls -al - to find what volumes are mounted, i.e too see where you uwant to go next cd VOLUME_NAME (This is the same as cd /Volumes/VOLUME_NAME) ls -al - to check the...

    MySQL and import database

    I think we have a difference on emphasis here, i.e. what we use these tools for. What I was using as an example is contained in phpMyAdmin and CocoaMySQL. Ther are many occasions where no tool suffices an I have to resort to something like PERL etc. I'm a UNIX system Admin (some 20 odd...

    MySQL and import database

    Sorry mate but you are just plain wrong, DBAs and the like constantly change items in databases, I see it every single day. I don't mean to be testy but if you are going to pump a product then its got to do at least what other products already do, you've now owned up to saying it doesn't...

    MySQL and import database

    First impressions seem ok, and offers potentially more than the other GUI's (but not phpMyAdmin). There are things in phpMyAdmin that, at first glance, don't seem to be included in "MySQL Admin" Example: If I select catalogs (show databases) from the menu, I get the tables and so forth...

    Automount NAS

    "Robn" sounds good, the nfs format looks to be very similar. mount volume "nfs://machinename/volumename /Volumes/volumename" or close to something like that. One thing though, as I've not used Applescript, how do you turn it into an AppleSctipts into Application? Thanks

    Applications question.

    I general it shouldn't be a problem to move applications, unless there is some PATH hardcoded into the applications. I have and Applications ( I could have used more or less any any other name) folders on other disks (as well as the Applications folde in root on the system disk), disk called...

    No bootup OSX

    Richard If commands like "ls", "cd" and "ln" don't work from the command (terminal) line then it looks like the BSD subsystems is not fully or properly installed. Unfortnately it does look as though you may need the Install Disks.

    Would you say Tiger is recommended for the average Home user?

    Cheers ElDiablo, the second part was especially what I was getting at. Fryke: I'm not as negative about the bright shiny bits of the GUI part of UNIX as you would think, I think you maybe a little too protective. As an average user there is about 50% or so of the interface I use, the rest...

    Would you say Tiger is recommended for the average Home user?

    "Average home user at work" Agreed and exactly right, its where Apple/Tiger will have to compete, if it can't theres not point in a "student" buying one. Seems like some people got into wish lists and got off subject rather than weather a stundent should buy Tiger or not. I will of...

    iPods infiltrating Microsoft

    From the snippets on the orginal post. Somebody else said it also further up "About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a PORTABLE MUSIC PLAYERS have an iPod". The statement says nothing! about 100% of MicroSoft employees having portable music players. A company has 1200...

    Would you say Tiger is recommended for the average Home user?

    I was a bit glib I guess. I work in the Oil business in the UK and its dry as toast, I manage the UNIX exploration systems and I see MicroSoft everywhere because its got a huge amount of support from business, its programmers and vendors. Corporate business applications which used to be the...

    Printers / CUPS

    Its been a few years, but I found that in CUPS you can go and edit an existing related driver with your own settings. About three or four years ago I edited a HP755 CUPS driver (300DPI), so that it would work with a HP 1055 (600DPI). I did this work on a Linux machine but the its still...

    Would you say Tiger is recommended for the average Home user?

    Don't forget other really usefull stuff, i.e. 64 bit is the big one for G5 machines. Movies (real ones), Oracle, Corporate Business processing apps, Webservers, Number crunchers, Oil & Gas, Weather Simulation, Science, compute clusters.

    No bootup OSX

    Apple should NOT use the word Alias to refer to UNIX links, they are different. example you cannot "cd" through an Apple Alias. A UNIX alias can refer to a whole bunch of things, i.e. command lines, command shortcuts, extensions, executions or scripts etc. A simple ls -al on an Apple...

    MySQL and import database

    Sounds like you've got an error in your sql file. I take it that that the sql file is a database dump containing tables and data from either some form of MySQL or another sql compliant database. I'd do what the last posted stated and break up the sql file, if its a data transfer. You...
