Here's an excerpt from fink: rm -rf hyperref-6.72-1 mkdir -p /sw/src/hyperref-6.72-1 unzip -o /sw/src/hyperref-6.72.zip Archive: /sw/src/hyperref-6.72.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part...

I got most of it but one file wasn't there. fink says it's not installed, but I'll try again later. It was getting the connection but the file wasn't there. fink will adjust and know what files are where when I try again.

Does anyone know how big the bundle-texex file is? I selected "1" every time, meaning I'm installinng seven packages, but it's been going for around fifteen minutes, and I have a ~2mbps connection (I realize that the remote servers might be slow, but it's Sunday night at 9:22 pm). Any thoughts?

TurboMem is *VERY* buggy and has all sorts of unintended consequences. I'd dump it.

Just wanted to add that AFP is Apple File Protocol, and that it is IP-based, in case either of those things weren't made clear in the above post.

Using Font Reserve to delete non-essential fonts from /System: good idea! Using the Finder to do the same: bad idea!

...but without a command line to apply, I can't decipher a man page an hope to get this exactly right on my first and only try.

fintler, what do I do with these?

When I try to use the CLI mail, I get the following error. What's wrong? Welcome to Darwin! [***-***-***-***:~] [username]% mail root Subject: test test . EOT [***-***-***-***:~] [username]% /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group...

Midnight Commander rocks! That is all.

ladislav, you fool! Don't EVER remove files from /System. Feel free to add files, if you think you know what the change will mean, and to modify files inside /System if you're SURE you know what the change will mean AND you make a backup (because, in reality, you never KNOW until the modified...

1. Neither Photoshop 7.x nor InDesign 2.x [yet] work with UFS. 2. Netscape 6.x and later do not [yet] work with UFS. That's enough for me. Eventually, all Mac OS X applications will support UFS, but not yet. HFS+ works fine for me, and UFS was a nightmare for reason #1 above.

I've tried to use mail, but but get an error about "group writable directory"; I've checked the recipients and, no, they haven't gotten the messages. Is this something Apple deliberately disabled or is it something another program messed up?

testuser: if one types /Volumes/swap/gimp (on my system, at least) into the gimp's preferences panel under directories (in the bottom blank, not the top) *does* change the gimp's swap file to that location. BSDimwit: thank you for clarifying the disk changing operation under BSD CLI. I do...

What is the BSD syntax for indicating a different disk? For example, cd /users/BSDimwit changes the working directory to BSDimwit's user folder, but what if it's on a different disk from the one you're using at the moment? Isn't it something like Volumes: [diskname]/users/BSDimwit?

Doesn't ANYONE know how to do this, or is it not possible?

AppleScript should take care of that.

Anonymous FTP from 65.25.208.182 most weeknights from ~11:30 PM to ~3:30 AM per the http://www.macosx.com clock. Also feel free to e-mail me at chenly@mn.rr.com and I'll be happy to send you the files.

These are perfect. To delete things in the NetInfo Manager, just highlight them and hit the "delete" key. http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4888
