It's been a long time since I set one up. The notes I had (and the process I followed) were for a RedHat type system (RH, Mandrake, etc.) but I'll see if I can dig them up. I did have it working on my machine, though. I have a buddy at work that also helped me do it. I'll ask him tomorrow...

Not virtual desktops and not just terminal windows. Virtual consoles/terminals. For example, in Slackware (my fav. Linux distro) I can ALT-F1...ALT-Fx (where ALT-F7 is reserved for X) and get an entirely new text login screen (much like how things look in single-user mode on OS X). I can...

Any idea how he converted the midi to wav? That's the hurdle... Kent!

Can iTunes burn a music CD from midi files? Thanks, Kent!

Here it is: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106900 Kent!

I had exactly the same problem and someone suggested a little app from Apple that fixes all the permissions for system files. I can't remember the name right now. It worked great! I think it was called RepairPermissions or something like that... Does anyone remember the name of the app...

Where on the page I linked for you guys is the link to xlr8yourmac.com's article? I can't find it. I would like to read this workaround and the Darwin developer's opinion. btw: 3 IDE (as soon as I mount the 3rd on in the case). Currently 2. Thanks, Kent!

I guess what I'm getting at is, how viable is this: http://www.kung-foo.tv/xtips.php#6 Thanks, Kent!

So does OS X use fstab in ADDITION to whatever process it normally uses to determine what drives to mount where? That is, can I create an fstab with only one entry--for the drive I wish to mount in a spot other than /Volumes--or does it ONLY use fstab if it exists? Also, I wonder if there is...

My Users dir is currently located on a second hard disk which is mounted as "/Volumes/Data HD". When I run BASH as "bash --login" or as my actual login shell (changing the shell parameter in the NetInfo record for my user account) I get the following message when I launch a shell: [...

I'm used to editing /etc/fstab from my experience in Linux in order to mount different partitions at different mount points, but when I went into /etc on my Mac I was totally confused...why are there THREE /etc/fstab files? I found fstab.hd, fstab.rd, and fstab.sd. Which one controls the...

Why are there no virtual consoles on OS X? This would be sooooooo handy.... Kent!

Does anyone know where I can find source (or binary) for a fake ident/auth server to use instead of OS X's default (true) ident server? Real ident/auth makes me nervous... Thanks, Kent! (edit: spelling)

THANKS SO MUCH!!! Kent!

BTW, here's some output to look at: Welcome to Darwin! [localhost:~] ka5% fink scanpackages sudo /sw/bin/fink scanpackages Reading package info... Information about 427 packages read in 1 seconds. dpkg-scanpackages dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc override | gzip...

Hi, I've removed all my Darwin based software installed with FINK and then reinstalled FINK (that is, sudo rm -rf /sw and all the X11 stuff then reinstalled all of FINK with the FINK installer). Since reinstalling FINK I've run fink scanpackes and sudo dselect and when I do an update I...

I've read the documentation about compiling apps from scratch on the FINK website and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck compiling many apps themselves (instead of using FINK packages or FINK unstable packages)? On my slackware box I ALWAYS compiled everything myself, but it seems...

Never mind...got it. Using FINK I installed gtk-engines and the gnome control center. Then using gnomecc I changed the gnome theme and voila. Thanks.

I am running XDarwin (from the OroborOSX distribution), OroborOSX as my window manager and GIMP installed from FINK. I am wondering how I would go about changing the GTK them that GIMP uses? Thanks, Kent!

...bump... Anyone?
