are you shure you didn't log in as yourself with your admin-account and your admin-password that was created when you installed the system. in this case, the root password (and sudo password) would be the same as your users password. theo

Well you guys may mess around with the terminal, but there is another way; a simpler way and problably also the way that Apple wants you to do it: Launch NetInfo Manager under one of the menus (file I belive) there is a submenu with the option "Authenticate", choose it. Type password. Check...

yes, I too am in favour of that idea. many other members have suggested this previously; http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1569 http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1442 http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1079...

I would very much like to see a new discussion forum called something like "OS X Programming" The UNIX-forum was a really great thing, filtering out all the Terminal stuff to one location (easier to find - and you don't have to have General Discussion filled with it). Now there would be a good...

Yes, you are absolutely right. I had hoped for a little more "accessibility" (as it is called in Java) in OSX. The possibility to choose the marked button (the button to be pressed when you press return) with the tab which is present in Windows is just wonderful. I want it. Very much. There...

So. We all know that all of a sudden the available programs for the Mac rose about a thousand percent when OSXpb was released, all *NIX apps that have been ported and are waiting to be ported or get a new nice GUI. What about the *NIX world? What did they get? A new neighbour, true. But a...

I can't agree that menu shortcuts similar to Windows would be something of the past. They save a lot of time for those who use them a lot but are never in the way for the others. It can be very useful, especially for disabled - Sun actually added some class libraries to Java2 that were called...

is there a version of PGP available to OSX, or has anyone heard any roumors concerning one? I am mostly interested in something resembling PGPi (www.pgpi.org). theo

this is not the sulution to your problem - but a solution to a problem you'll probably will have in the near future: Apple recommends to install Mac OS X on the first 8 Gb of the main drive. Since you planned to have the first 35 Gb to OS9 you might not be able to run your OSX on the second...

why not use java, since you know that language? as far as I know it is not interpreted in Cocoa but compiled. But I might be wrong. Am I? I love the possibility of using Java for serious program development. theo

do as hotani says but use ManOpen (available at Versiontracker.com), it's a lovely utility for reading man pages. makes it easier to manage, to find things and to read. theo

(sorry that I answer in your place BEIGE). nope. thats not a python file. it's a perl (.pl), pythons are .py or .pyc/.pyo. (anyway- it doen't matter in a mac/unix world...) You can download Python 2.0 from versiontracker. theo

my problem with zips is that when I use a zip on my g3-300 (internal) and then mount it in my zip on my osx-system (internal on the g4) and then try to mount it again on the g3 it won't show up. Iomega tools see it, so I can initialize if I want, and doing that is the only way of mounting it -...

if the apps are compiled for another processor you need to recompile in order to get them to work. x-win; there are a few threads discussing the issue, but none of them (that I have read) have come up with an answer. sorry. theo

or try cd Desktop\ Folder that's often faster if it's only one space. if there are many quotes are faster. the fastest is to use the tab, write "Des" and then press tab, the shell fills in the rest (if there are no other files that have names beginning with "Des"). You'll notice that all...

I have about the same config (but 256 Mb RAM) and OS X has been my primary OS ever since I got the machine. I have only started OS 9 to play DVD-films, DVD-player won't start in X... still waiting for the first carbonized DVD-player. I love it. Wonderful. Can't wait for the final version...

my problem with classic started after I had chosen the classic system folder as the startup disk, started on it a few times (turning a few extensions on and off, but they're all basic os9 exts) and played a DVD, then selected macosx as the startup disk and booted into that. since then classic...

it still doesn't switch to the last used app first, though. That would be very nice. Makes switching a lot faster if you have a bunch of apps in the background that you don't want to switch to anyway (like clock, finder and grab). theo

Terribly sorry that I reply my own post, but I have found a port of Python 2.0: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=9108 Download and join the flying circus. Happy coding Theo

Bare Bones, the makers of BBEdit, says that a carbonized version of BBEdit will be available when OS X 1.0 ships. That probably means that a carbonized BBEdit Lite will be around about then too. It's a shame they don't release earlier, the app is probably already finished but they want to wait...
