Somehow, I don't think the filesystem would even mount without the super block. So much for reading that journal. ;-)

Hmm, yylex seems to be a perl module that deals with XML. There's also some Java and C++ stuff that goes by that name. It's probably just some application specific bug. See if you can find out what does it.

Are you using 10.3? My iBook has taken a liking to hanging at 99% for quite some time before it jumps up to 100%. It's probably mostly a cosmetic flaw.

Hmm, I could have sworn I tried something like that, but maybe I'll play around with that setup again.

Oh yeah. Heh. That's the compiler that's included with the system that will build binaries from the source code. I've heard that version 3 has better support for certain PPC optimizations, but that might be just for better G5 support. I can't remember for sure.

I believe 10.3 was built with gcc 3, while 10.2 was made with gcc 2. Perhaps new PPC optimizations are stressing one critically weak point of the system.

The biggest difference is in the scripting language. Some of the shell variables might be a bit different, too, but the major ones are mostly the same. Setting them has slightly different syntax, though. Other than that, usage is essentially the same, except for a few minor details. For...

Did it install it in /usr/local/bin? Try this: find /usr -name lynx See what it spits out. If it's there, you'll just need to add the directory to your path.

How can I send the output of a command to a while loop. I can do so with a file doing this: while command do something done < /tmp/foo

Okay, let me see if I can provide at least 50% of an answer... Using awk will let you search and replace a pattern inside of a file quite easily. Use a syntax like this: awk '/oldpattern/ { s/oldpattern/newpattern/ }' Then if you tie that to the find command to get all the available...

You could try looking for BlueJ. It's written in Java. I never really cared for it, but the CS department here must have some reason for clinging onto it.

I often find myself connected to the internet via Airport, and also needing to connect to a 10. local network over ethernet at the same time for a bit of experimental work. What I would like to do is route all traffic to and from the 10. network to ethernet where it should be, while maintaining...

Okay, that's pretty much what I expected. Thanks for letting me know.

I've got a few things installed via fink, and when I do the 10.3 upgrade, I don't want to kill it all. Can I safely backup the /sw directory, then just restore it into place and expect everything to work? That is, assuming it's not stuff that depends too much on libraries that are going to be...

I think you might be right, because that looks awfully familiar to me too...

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be a supported usage of mv. Doing this under tcsh can have disastrous results, too. You can get the proper results with this (slightly longer) command. First, launch the bash shell in the Terminal so this works right. Just open Terminal, and enter "bash". Then you use...

The best you can do is not have the base station report the SSID (AP name.) I do this with mine. Thus, you cannot see the network name in the Airport pull down menu. You have to enter it manually by selecting Other. This is trivial to get around with a good sniffer, though. It'll sit and watch...

I just did it with set from the command line. It does seem to work though when placed in inputrc, though I'm not sure where it's being set. The list of shell variables doesn't show it. Weird.

Hmm, interesting stuff. I can't get Bash to respond to the show-all-if-ambiguous shell variable, though.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Basically, I want the command line tab completion to work more like in tcsh with the autolist variable set.
