If OroborOSX works, then XDarwin should also work. Are you sure you opened the right (latest) version of the XDarwin app? It looks to me like you installed too many versions (you only needed XFree86 4.2.1.1) and somehow got part of your setup confused.

Darwin, FreeBSD, Unix....OS X contains parts of all of them. It definitely does not contain any Linux, though.

Perl alone does not a Pitbull make. Well, not unless you're obsessed and masochistic. =D Anyway, the answer is no. There aren't yet any command-line tools that will upload a file to a hotline server without wanting a tad of user interaction. Neither are there applescriptable hotline...

UtaTr3y, your link takes me to a site which proudly proclaims "Welcome! This domain name was registered through Namesecure." I suggest you rethink your advertising strategy. You might want to download OroborosX (http://oroborosx.sourceforge.net/), which is a combination X11 server and...

The standard ftp program has no support for recursively uploading directories, save tarballing the directory, uploading the tarball, then decompressing it in place. Try downloading NcFTP from http://www.ncftp.com/ and examining its included 'ncftpput' companion program.

You, sir, are quite wrong. I beg of you, please take your own advice and check your man pages and verify your own information before asking others to do so for you. The first three permission characters describe the file's owner's permissions. The second three describe the permissions for...

Being unable to install anywhere has to do with the installation package itself, and not the Installer app or your partitioning scheme. If a package is not marked "Relocatable", then it will always be installed at the same place relative to the volume you selected. If a package is marked "Root...

By the way, 0 is also a shortcut for localhost.

Or you could use filesystem software that couldn't care less about owners/perms, like OS 9's. Of course, restarting is someting I only do in the most dire circumstances.

I didn't. I renamed Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail to Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail.bak, so that I could have my own program at Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail so that it runs when I double-click Mail.app. I suppose I could have altered the CFBundleExecutable key in its Info.plist instead. Works...

Most installers require that a particular version of OS X be installed on the destination filesystem. To get around this, you can either create a symbolic link at /Applications that points to your mounted Apps partition, or mess with your /etc/fstab so that your Apps partition gets mounted on...

Restart in OS 9 and delete the file.

1930 could easily have been the 'grep Limewire' process. Whether or not it shows up depends on the length of time between the death of 'ps aux' and the birth of 'grep Limewire', which can be and often is negative. It's a good idea to pipe it through an additional 'grep -v grep' so you don't...

To the best of my knowledge, no. Your best bet would be to create a shell script which runs your executable using nice. In the case of application packages, you can simply move the executable aside and put in its place that shell script. Here's what I used for Mail: #!/bin/sh nice -n +5...

Basically, you can either instantiate NSImageCells yourself and stuff them into an NSMatrix, or set NSImageCell as the cellClass of an NSMatrix(or your own subclass) and grab the ones that it instantiates for you. Either way, you just use setImage: to set the image of the NSImageCell. If...

There are a number of variables already set for you, all documented in your shell's manual page. The variables $0, $1, $2, etc, each refer to the respective arguments of the command which invoked the script. Keep in mind that $1 is the first argument, and $0 is the name that the script was...

The cron process isn't guaranteed to have its PATH environment variable set. Try using the full path to chown (/usr/sbin/chown on my machine) instead of just 'chown'.

I was not referring to locations. I was referring to the "Show:" popup, which contains "Network Port Configuration". Select that item, which brings you to a list of network interfaces on your computer. Select "Built-in Ethernet" and duplicate it. Rename the two resulting interfaces to...

I read over your posts again and realized something. In Network Prefs, just duplicate your Built-In Ethernet network port. Set the duplicate up for ADSL and the original up for LAN. This creates an additional interface so it uses en0 and ppp0 on the same NIC at once.

OS X does support long filenames, and shouldn't trim them itself. Perhaps the method which you use to transfer files is doing the trimming? Try a different protocol or something.
