I installed Xdarwin 1.2.0 (XFree86 4.3.0) and the latest Fink package last night. When I run Fink Commander, it only shows 50 packages, 36 installed. I *know* there's more than that. I can't even find GIMP in the list, which is why I installed it all. Help? Thanks, Tim.

Howdy. Went to install 9.1 on my 8.1 iMac last night. Without thinking I popped in the 9.1 CD, booted the machine, and immediately initialized my hard disk. Lo and behold, my Rev. A iMac needs a firmware update. However, the hard drive is blank so I can't run the firmware updater...

I know that the Exchange Server update for Entourage "officially" supports Exchange Server 2000, but I am still running Exchange Server 5.5. I have downloaded and installed all the Office updates and configured Entourage for my Exchange Server 5.5, and it seems to work for basic mail...

How can I set a permanent Reply-To address in Mail.app? I know I can do it on a mail-by-mail basis by entering the address into the Reply-To field, but that's a serious pain in the posterior. Thanks, Tim.

Here's an odd one for you. Do Fink and XDarwin actually work together? I was running Apple's X11 server, but uninstalled it to give XDarwin a try. Now none of the Fink applications will install - most crash out with an "Unresolved Dependencies - X11" error. I removed Fink and reinstalled...

Which X server do those in the know prefer? There's Apple's new server, XDarwin, the X11 package from Fink, and I'm sure there's a few others. Which one is the best and most compatible? Thanks, Tim.

Well, this is interesting. (And yes, before I get into this, I'll admit - I'm a gamer geek. The document I reference is a character sheet. Sue me. Heh.) Anyway, look at this file: http://www.domibia.com/dloads/tristatsheet.doc It's a Word:mac v.X file. The tables are all nicely...

I'm looking for some input here. I know this is really close to the thread about alternatives for Office:v. X, but I figured it was different enough to receive it's own thread. Currently I have Office: v.X, OpenOffice 1.0.3, and Appleworks 6 on my eMac. I'm looking to find out which of the...

Howdy. One of the Linux/Unix window managers (I can't remember which one) features a somewhat OSX-like dock (actually, it's probably more like OS X features a very X11-like dock, but that's neither here nor there). In this dock, each of the icons are drawers that, when clicked, slide up (or...

Ok, here's an interesting one (at least from my perspective). Being a relatively new user, I was browsing around my HDD, and found the /Applications/AppleScript folder. I was looking at some of the scripts in the /Applications/AppleScript/Example Scripts folder, and then found a...

(Just FYI, I'm on a 1ghz eMac with a 60gb HDD and 256mb RAM) Ok, so, I recently switched from Windows to Mac. I moved a bunch of MP3s (legal MP3s, I might add) from my old Wintel box to the Music folder in my home folder. When I cued them up in iTunes, it created an iTunes folder and copied...

Howdy. I have an eMac. I replaced the keyboard with an Adesso "natural" keyboard, but it doesn't have the eMac's volume up/down and CD open/close buttons. Is there some way I can emulate those keys on my new keyboard? Thanks, Tim.

Howdy. I was given a Netgear ME102 802.11b WAP last night, and it hooks to my router and works without a problem. However, I can't seem to find the drivers/software for it that will work with OS X. Anyone able to point me in the proper direction for OS X ME102 software? Thanks, Tim.

Howdy. Having recently switched from a Microsoft world, I'm a little taken aback that there seems to be no "uninstall" feature for OS X. Little matter, I'm sure, but I would like to uninstall the Apple X11 Public Beta 3. I know I can simply delete the X11.app file in the Applications...

Howdy. My name is Tim, I'm a new Mac user. Formerly a Windows and Linux user, I have been drooling over OS X since its release. I've had a few Macs in the past, the most powerful a PowerMac 8100 with a Sonnet 266mhz G3 upgrade board. Anyway, I finally made the switch and bought an eMac...
