    Does anyone have a recommendation for which USB PCI card to use on my PowerMac 7600, which is running 10.1.2? I installed it with the help of XPostFacto, formerly UnsupportedUtilityX.

    My Type 1 font saga

    In a similar thread at the MacNN forums chris v replied with the suggestion of bad fonts. With that, my font saga continues. Based on chris v's advice, I copied all the fonts I want to use from their original disks to /Library/Fonts. His suggestion about corrupted font files is further...

    Does links allow access to password-protected pages?

    In the post I mentioned a contributor mentions links.sourceforge.net, with that spelling. But perhaps lynx, if compiled for Mac OS X, might deal with authentication. Dominik

    Does links allow access to password-protected pages?

    In a post about "web surfing ... from darwin", forum user slur suggests to use the unix program links. I downloaded the compiled version from slur's site, and was able to look at the MacInTouch page with it, pretty cool. However, I couldn't access a different page, which is...

    How to set up LaserWriter as LPR printer

    For Mac OS 9 there is the Apple Printer Utility. But for Mac OS X there is only Print Center. I have not found a way to set up my LaserWriter 12/640 as an LPR printer using Print Center. It has the "Configure..." command on the "File" menu, but it is greyed out. Of course I try the Apple...

    My Type 1 font saga

    I have had the hardest time installing Type 1 fonts in Mac OS X. They never show up in any of the applications' font menus. Today I had some more luck. I dragged fonts from my Mac OS 9 Fonts folder directly to /Library/Fonts/. I launched MS Word v. X and I was able to select them from the...

    Finder copying should change file ownership

    When I use the Finder to copy a file to another user's drop box, it retains the original owner and group settings. In my opinion, both should automatically change to the settings of the target drop box. Otherwise, the way things currently work, when I log in as the target user, I often can't...

    Copying iTunes files to another user

    I have been trying to copy iTunes files from one user to another. I have come across these issues: 1) I have to log in as administrator and do a sudo chown and sudo chgrp to change ownership to the target user. 2) I don't know, where the play lists are stored. They don't seem to be in the...

    Copying files between users and privileges

    When I copy a file into another user's drop box, it retains my current account's owner and group information. That can be annoying to that user, because it might mean that he won't be able to delete the file from his drop box. I would prefer that the Finder automatically change the owner and...

    Details on font migration needed

    I would like to migrate my font collection from 9.2 to OS X. While I understand that I will not need to do anything to the files, I am not 100% sure how to do that. I understand that the fonts go into ~/Library/Fonts/ or /Library/Fonts. The main question that remains is, what to do about file...

    What password to use with ssh remote login?

    What password should I use for remote login? I am following the Help Viewer's suggestion after typing in "remote login". It suggests the "ssh -l username hostid" command. I can get to the point, where some kind of RSA key exchange takes place and it then asks me for the password of...
