Yeah, I got Oroborosx working with XDarwin. Only complaint is that I installed XDarwin using fink only to find out later that it is not recommended to do that as future updates to XDarwin may encounter problems.... SIgh... G

Thanks, but the link doesn't seem to work.... G

Hi, Please redirect me to a site or link if this is asked before. I have a Dec Alpha serving out X Windows apps. How could I use my Mac OS X to take advantage of that so that I can run graphical apps on that server on my Mac OS X. When I used Windows 2000 I had this application called...

I don't get it. How does that relate to typos? Chasm? G :confused:

Hi, When I start my computer, for a second a folder with a question mark flashes, but then everything seems to load fine. I have no clue what that means, perhaps a file or two are missing? How would I find out what? Is there a log that could reveal what happened during those first second and...

Hi, How would I uninstall something that the software updater installed? I don't know what file it is installing and into what folders. And on a completely opposite note, how do I force an installation of a package that Software Updater thinks (incorrectly) that I already have? Thanks, G

Yes, when it comes to uninstalling most mac apps, it's a matter of dragging the folder the installer created into the trash and it's gone. However, not so with other apps that are part of the system. I had been trying to install Chinese package into 10.1 since I realized that the CD I had...

Chinese package for internationalization is no different from packages of other locales. To get Swedish or even more complex languages like you just need the package for that locale. I am going to see if the Chinese package exists in the 2Z 10.1 CD. Still waiting for Apple to make these...

For those following the "Where is Chinese?" sub-thread, here's something interesting: http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/os_x.html This may explain why 10.1 users don't get Chinese showing as they could with French or Italian. The CD with 1Z, which we all waited so eagerly for in early...

Thanks ahead of time, AdmiralAK! G

Hmm, I read further, and it seems that the english version I have doesn't really do more than the seven default ones. So any idea how I can get an international version without paying for anything extra? Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal if you are not a Western European/North American...

I did what you recommended with the language tab; tried it on 10.1 and the whole menu and basic Finder stuff remains in English. Just to show that I did it right, I repeated the steps for French and it's all in french. I was told that the upgrade to 10.1 didn't really install the localization...

I copied and pasted the termcap lines in this discussion thread to a .termcap file (and a termcap file, just in case). When I do a vim (6.0) on a file, I get this error first: "test.sh" 4L, 48C Error detected while processing /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/syntax/sh.vim: line 321: E394...

What is that file that is seems almost omnipresent in all my subdirectories? They are annoying when I work with non-Mac systems like Linux. Is it like those freaky Mac hidden dirs like .DS_Store, which is present everywhere. Is there a way to not have them or are they critical to the...

Yeah, another forum would be good for employment related sort of things, and I think it will encourage more OS X development on the part of developers. I have not seen a single job want ad that says "Must have experience in Aqua programming experience using Object-C or Java." But if we had a...

What is HFS and UFS? OK, OK, I get the point, no way to make it case-sensitive. Oh well. OS X is more of a hybrid of unix and mac classic (opinion not based solely on this topic). Well you win some and lose some. But I still like OS X more than anything I've seen (well, maybe not Mandrake...

Hi, Does anyone notice that if you try to rename a file to one whose only difference from the old is the case, mac os x will not allow you? Like: mv here HERE This is illegal. I thought this was unix, no? Did some in Apple tweak with the unix system to make HERE the same as here? Would...

Wow, that many files. Well, I will do it on Monday. This weekend I have to develope a big java project on this computer. Thanks everyone for the useful info! G

I tried sudo rm -rf / but I got the error saying user not on the list of administrators. Then I became administrator and it gave me this error: Root user not allowed to delete entire hard drive with one unix command. Try one file at a time. What do I do? G

Can someone tell me how to make screen capturing in Mac OSX? What key combo do I use or must I use a 3rd party software. Thanks, G
