    remotely controlling another mac

    Timbuktu and apple remote desktop will both do this and both cost $$. I prefer timbuktu. Also VNC will do the same thing for free, but with fewer features.

    Check for something on fink called bundle-gnome and that should bring down everything that you need.

    How do I get a powerbook to run closed

    I'm confused here. I keep hearing people say that to run the PB with the lcd closed you have to have an external monitor. How would you use the computer without one? Just for filesharing or ???

    Dreamweaver MX Question

    I had the same problem and ended up giving up. I tried deleting the app, deleting the prefs, deleting everything in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. These didn't work, but check in ~/Library/Application Support There is some macromedia stuff in there that I think will do the trick.

    Can't enable vacation

    Nevermind, it turns out that sendmail uses a very restrictive shell that is not allowed to run executables from /usr/local/bin. I got something running with procmail instead.

    Testing FinkCommander...

    The command line is in many cases irreplacible. However it does get old after a while. It is really great to have the function of fink and dselect with all of the information clearly presented. I have had great success with finkcommander, in fact I can't tell what the bugs are.

    OpenOffice 1.0

    I tried think free and the worst thing was not the speed, but rather the fact that it would not open my office documents. They were all "too large" to be opened by think free, or we're sorry, but the item "pivot table" could not be opened. At this point I retired thinkfree.

    Why don't I have pico?

    Most unfortunate. I definitely have pine, pico, and grep all in the default installation. "As your lawyer I would advise you to reinstall" I have done this without losing any of my stuff, just right over the top of the old install.

    Why don't I have pico?

    I bet you don't have /usr/bin in your path. cd to /usr/bin and ls, do you see pico and grep here? Try this type env in the terminal and see if you have /usr/bin in the path. If its not there then you can put this in your .tcshrc setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/bin"

    AirPort login failure

    guest also gave an authentication failure. However. I changed both machines to getting their address via dhcp rather than fixed 10.0.1.2 for example, and restarted them and now I'm connecting!
