OK, well, just for fun I compiled BitchX side by side on the following two machines: In the blue corner, a PM G4 733 with 640 MB RAM running OS X 10.2 (Jag). In the red corner, an AMD K6-2 500 with 128 MB RAM running FreeBSD 4.6.2. Well, I ran the configure script and the AMD won by...

For some reason, each time I download a file using the nightly (2 nights ago) of Chimera, it seems to never remember where I want to download to. One time it will be "Data" (the partition my Users folder is in) or "Documents" in my user folder or "Desktop" the location I WANT it to use and have...

Will a Macintosh 8500 w/G3 upgrade run OS X? Will it be as fast as any other G3 of the same speed (I don't know how many MHz)? How about a 6500/225 with a Sonnet Crescendo L2 G3 upgrade and the enabling software from Sonnet? Kent!

I was wondering if there was any way to get Chimera to report itself as something other than a Mozilla browser to any web servers it goes to. Can this be done? OmniWeb allows you to change what type of browser it reports itself as in the preferences. Is there any way to do this with...

Does .FBCIndex get used when there is no .DS_Store or something? I've deleted all the .DS_Store files in a particular hierarchy and rebooted. Then I set the view settings for "All Windows" and still some of these windows don't end up using the All Windows settings. Also, I want to figure...

I have Xounds installed and have tried the SoundSet that comes with OS 9 and I like it except for that silly noise it makes when a window is dragged around on the screen. I want to either edit that soundset and remove that dragging-window ticking sound (it's very hateful) or get some more...

How EXACTLY does setting "All Windows" in the Finder View Options work? It seems that I set it to "All Windows" then make the settings changes I want (i.e. 36x36 icons, arrange by name, show icon preview, etc.) then close the settings box, then when I double-click on Macintosh HD or an alias...

I get an error that MIRRORED.BY cannot be downloaded and then the CPAN access stops. The final few lines of the ftp for finding the MIRRORED.BY file looks like this: 230- 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files...

Thanks so much. I will try that. Kent!

Not sure how to solve your problem, but if you've installed XDarwin before Fink, you may end up with another one. To avoid it, make sure you install the XFree86 placeholder package in Fink before you install anything that relies on XFree86 being installed or it will barf on the dependency...

I am trying to run a small Perl script that requires LWP.pm to be installed (which I don't think it is) on Jaguar. How would I got about installing this module? Can I install all of the libwww-perl stuff from here (http://www.linpro.no/lwp/) and if so, which version? I am new to Perl so I...

If you do decide to go the symlink route, be sure to update your user's NetInfo for where their home directory is. Open up the NetInfo Manager and find the entry for your user's home and fix it there. I use the symlink/NetInfo method and it works fine. The only problem is that each user's...

...um...bump...

I was wondering if anyone knows if .DS_Store does the same thing in Jag as it did in 10.1? It seems that if I delete a .DS_Store file from a folder (using Terminal) then open the folder using Finder, that the settings for the folder have not changed and gone back to defaults or anything...

The problem is that if one piece of info can be sent by the app to an external site (which I've now been assured it isn't) who's to say that anything off the machine can't be? Isn't that what makes spyware so bad? The not know what it's sending out? I just don't want to think of Office...

I have heard that Office X sends some data over port 2222 and some port in the 3xxx range for piracy checking (I've read about how it works so no need to explain) and I'm concerned about my privacy. I've read that it transmits to other Office copies running on a single subnet, but what I...

I don't have Jag yet, but I understand that menu extras from 3rd parties don't work--is that correct? Is Unsanity's Menu Extra Enabler a viable (and the most popular/only way) to get them to run? Are there any 3rd party menu extras that don't work with Menu Extra Enabler? Does...

So is this still an issue with Jag or does Jag do any of this differently? I don't have Jag installed yet but I will this weekend. I would like to mount my two extra drives as /Users and /Applications so that even if I've gotta rebuild my system I won't have to reinstall apps and data...

Well, I've renamed my partition to "Data_HD" with the underscore (to remove the space) and fixed up my /Users symlink and used niutil to repoint my user definition to the correct user dir (now /Volumes/Data_HD/Users/ka5) and... no luck. Same thing. I think that some startup script for...

Hold on. Two links: http://www.linuxdot.org/cgi-bin/nlm.cgi?page=vt-x http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~pmurphy/Talks/virtual_consoles/virtual_consoles_03.html This works great. I just tried it on my slack box. startx -- :1 will start another X session that you can switch into with...
