Sorry for delay in replying folks - have been experiencing some computer problems lately. Thanks for the suggestions. Will try them out soon. will103

Hi, I have recently installed Mac OS 10.3, and am getting to grips with the Bash shell. I compiled the Nano text editor and all went well until I tried to execute it in Bash. I received the following error message wills-Computer:~ will$ nano -bash: nano: command not found Now, it would...

Right, I have some big questions here. I have been using mac os X since v10.1 came out and last night I decided to give the Darwin OS distribution from Apple a go. I got it installed fine but then realised that I was way out of my depth. From previous attempts at installing freeBSD (which was...

Hi, I have Apple's X11 installed but want to use the Windowmaker window manager instead of Quartzwm. I installed it from source via Fink, which all went fine. But When I launch X11 the XTerm window has no frame and is stuck in the top left corner of my screan (under the menu bar) - worked great...

I do a lot of mucking around in certain folders in the root directory of my startup disk and I am sick of having to use an app that shows all hidden files on my computer. Is there a way to reveal only the folders that I am interested in? They are - bin, private, sbin, tmp, var, usr and etc...

I just hope that Apple decides to include virtual desktop support in Aqua at a later date though I doubt they will. I have looked at Virtual Desktops from Codetek before but not with X11 - will have another look. By the way Space.app is a freeware alternative and can be found at...

I think that Apple's X11 rocks but one aspect really bugs. The Aqua window manager does not seem to support virtual desktops - a common utility in other window managers. Does anyone know of a solution to this i.e an open source app that I could install or something else? I don't want to install...
