I'm away from my Mac right now, but look at netinfo (nidump & niload). OS X, like NextStep before it, stores lots of the unix flatfile stuff (like /etc/passwd, etc) in netinfo and distributes it from there. Tyler

If you decide not to have mysql start up automatically when you reboot, a better way to start it is.... % safe_mysqld & Which will start mysqld as a background process -- leaving your terminal window available for other commands. Tyler

I just got email from Apple -- mine shipped today (3/22/01) and since I got next day shipping, I should have it sometime tomorrow morning. :-) Tyler ____________________ G4 450 MP 384 MB RAM 30 GB Storage 15" Studio Display

I preordered Mac OSX right after the japan show. I'm expecting it sometime after March 24th. Today I receive an email from Apple that says... -------------------- Dear Apple Customer, We appreciate your recent order for Apple products and apologize for the delay in fulfilling it...

I got my email from the Apple store just a few minutes ago. I clicked on the pre-order now button and the page came up with the rebate amount already filled in. Tyler PS: They do add a $10 shipping charge on, so the total (for non-educational users) is $109.

You can use either of the cpu monitoring utilities that are floating around on the net to watch how much each processor is doing... /Applications/GrabBag/CPU Monitor is bundled with the system. XLoad is a freeware utility but I can't remember where I found it. As for printers, I use an...

/usr/bin/cc IS gcc. Issue a 'cc -v' from the command-line and you will get the following response.... Apple Computer, Inc. version cc-796.3, based on gcc driver version 2.7.2.1 executing gcc version 2.95.2 Tyler

I really like the new mouse, but I have trouble with the new keyboard. There is something "wrong" or "different" with the tactile response of the keys that causes me to not get some keys completely pressed when I type on it. Probably just something I need to get used to. Tyler

Okay, I finally figured out how to read the "bill of material" (.bom) files on OS X. /usr/bin/lsbom will list the contents of the .bom file. So from a terminal window, the following line will list out everything that was included in the developer package. lsbom...

Go to your finder. Select Desktop/System Preferences from the menu. Select Network (blue globe) from the Preference panel. Select the Services tab. There is a closed-lock icon at the bottom. Click on that. It pops up a login panel with whomever is currently logged in...

It would be nice to have a developer group specifically for questions about the development environment, objective-c, etc. Tyler

I don't give a rats about the babe. Where can I get QA3 for OSX? :-) Tyler

Already on your system (don't know if it's bundled with OSX beta or the developer tools). Go to System Preferences Select the network icon Select the Services tab click the lock and login as root turn the web server on and apply the changes. Tyler

Okay, if that's what he was asking. Did that too -- works just fine. Used Grab.app to take a snapshot of a finder window. Clicked print under the file menu. :-) Tyler

I just did. I have an hp printer hooked up on my network using a JetDirect interface. Added the printer as a lpr device using the printer setup window and when I clicked print (from IE5) everything "just worked". Tyler

Look in the root directory and you will see a Developer folder. The most interesting stuff is in there (ProjectBuilder, InterfaceBuilder, etc). There are various other things (compilers, headers, libraries, et al) scattered all over the rest of your hard drive. The bom (bill of materials)...

I haven't successfully loaded the developer tools but "bom" is "bill of materials". It's yet another hold over concept from NeXTStep. It's just a listing of everything that's in the package.

Just got my Dual G4-450 in the mail today. OS X is already up and running (took a total of about 10 minutes). The install went smooth as silk. The internet/email/pop configuration was very elegant. So far (5 minutes of messing around) OS X is *very* sweet. I'm probably gonna end up...
