I loved OS 10.3, everything worked happily. Not so here. 1. When I install fink 0.8.0 the pathsetup script says that when it adds the line test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && /sw/bin/init.sh the computer ignores it. I cannot run fink or any other fink-installed stuff until I type source...

I know Apple comes with a firewall, but I want something a little more. Anyone know of a really good opensource firewall that works on OSX?

I've been trying to copy and paste images from a mathematica notebook into my word documents. It work fine on the highly faulty Win98 machines as school, but somehow when i open the doc's on my mac the images are only partially displayed and missing things like background colors and axes. Any...

I've been attempting to run Mathematica remotely for a while now, and have been plagued by many fonts problems. I've more or less fixed them (I still get one of 4 previous error messages, but things seem to work), with one big nuisance of a problem: (well two): First: When I ssh -X from a...

I've been working on this all weekend and am quite stumped. I am running X11 with all the SDK stuff on OSX.3 on my G3 900MHz iBook. I cannot for the life of me open up Eterm from the .xinitrc file and have it get the background right. The background is set in the line above it using Esetroot...

I'm about to make the jump to Panther, but I have a few questions first. Will the new developments with X11 render my Apple X11 and Fink stuff unecessary? Will the Panther install screw up the straight Unix stuff I have on the machine? (please say no?) Or will it simply install over 10.2.8...

I'm running Apple X11, Fink, and a host of Unix stuff on my G3 iBook, and I have some questions about (drumroll) printing from office programs. I have OpenOffice installed, and in its print dialog box it recognizes my Lexmark printer. However, when I go to print, the job - according to the...

I have just recently started playing with the Mac OSX version of UNIX and I am having a few problems. I am running the developer tools and the MAC OSX version of X11. Unfortunately when I go to builds tarballs, the software has problems locating things. For example if I install FreeType from...

I have a fairly general question about the interaction of the MAC OS X port of X11 and the underlying UNIX layers of the OS itself. I installed X11 yesterday and am now attempting to add basic pieces of software like Eterm, SciTe, etc. The problem I keep running into is that even after doing a...
