    Something Peculiar

    I have one theory on this. I've restarted my machine, and I'm still locked out. The new version of Fire uses the installer program included in X, and I think this may have screwed around with the permissions. That's the only thing I can think of because I didn't have to drop Fire into...

    Something Peculiar

    Actually, every partition on my 20gb drive is HFS+. And I've never logged out or even restarted my computer since installing X yesterday morning, so I'm still logged in as the same person. Still perculiar eh?

    Has anyone gotten Fire to work?

    I've had no problems with Fire. The new version 15 adds more features and it seemed to stop that disconnect I got a few times on the aol servers. 15 also supports a new installer.

    FTP software ?

    Gideon is supposed to be a good FTP, like Bulletproof on the PC side. I saw that a beta was up for X Server, but not for PB. May have to email the guy about this....

    i cant open tar files

    or just use OpenUp for .tar.gz, .zip, and some .sit files. Don't use stuffit under classic because it will corrupt the .sit files. Stuffit for X seems to work fine cuz it unstuffed macster fine.

    Something Peculiar

    Whenever I downloaded a program yesterday(Fire, Omniweb, OpenUp, etc) I could take the file and drop it in my applications folder. Now today when I tried to drop Macster b5.5 in there after installing it on my classic partition, it wouldn't allow me to do that. It said I didn't have permission...

    Advantages to UFS over HFS+?

    Classic won't work as in.... you have one hard drive, and format the whole thing UFS.

    Advantages to UFS over HFS+?

    UFS is better if you run OS X server. You can use all the unix commands under the terminal if your drive is UFS. But if you decide on UFS for OS X, you will not be able to run classic.

    HELP! Can't set up e-mail.....or internet in OSX on CABLE!

    I'd be pissed off at @home if they used DHCP servers. I already complain to them all the time at how often I lose service. If I had to go through DHCP, I'd complain more. And if @home ever decides to go to DHCP, I'll complain. But this may be a work around. If you connect through DHCP...

    DVD Player?

    Well, there is no unix version cuz of the whole DECSS battle going on. And secondly, no one has written one yet for OS X. There most likely won't be one until final comes along, since it's usually Apple that supplies it.

    Built in MP3 player

    My copy of Beta should have been here today had apple shipped it when they "said" they would. I should have mine next week. I've read there isn't a lot of functionality yet with it. I'll probably just download soundjam when I get beta. But I'll probably use apple's mp3 player if SoundApp...

    Why is MacOs X PB so slow

    First off, OS X is still in Beta. Secondly, I would follow the recommendation to have at least 128mgs of ram in your computer. About printing under OS X, I know USB printers can't print due to a lack of drivers, but I don't know printers connected through other means. The question is not...
