Does this list still apply with the retail version? Is 8A425 what I'll get when buying the box?

Try mplayer, ffmpeg (CLI power) or ffmpegX (pointy-clicky, but with AppleScript crawl). Remember to talk to at least 3 EU representatives, to make sure they know why software patents are a travesty and will vote accordingly. Otherwise all of the aforesaid projects will soon bite the dust...

A colour screen need not be a "bad upgrade" as some previous posters seem to think. The important thing to keep in mind is that it may not be a big upgrade either. It is perfectly possible that Apple have just come up with a slightly redesigned, slightly nicer looking colour version of the iPod...

I am building an installable package (.pkg) with PackageMaker 1.1.11 (that's the one that comes with Panther). The package is for installing things both to /Applications and to some folders in /Library (/Library/StartupItems and a new folder that I'm putting in /Library). I do (obviously) not...

Here's a neat trick: If you use shell scripts, such as: #!/bin/sh <your shell script here> you can actually make them double-clickable from Finder, so they *almost* work like fully-fledged Applications. You will need to be an administrative user to do these things: - Create your...

Excellent stuff! That sure licks it. Thanks to both! :) rop

Excellent. That worked like a charm :) Thanks a bunch to both!! --- Now to add another question: I ran across this article, in which (further down, in the post titled Wilfredo Sanchez Jr.) a contributor makes reference to some design decision where Apple appears to use a complex...

Hmm, thanks for the swift reply, but that didn't seem to work. So I did this to diagnose: Last login: Tue Feb 24 20:19:31 on console Welcome to Darwin! DigitalGoddess:~ ropers$ pwd /Users/ropers DigitalGoddess:~ ropers$ ll bin total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 ropers ropers 136 24 Feb 19:58 ...

I'm sure these things have only been asked a thousand times (I just couldn't find the answers): I am running Panther (Mac OS X ver. 10.3.2.[at present]). I am using the (default) bash shell. I am *starting* to write shell scripts. I would like to "install" some shell scripts, so that...

You need to write a shell script in this format: #!/bin/sh ## # Your description/comments here ## your commands here Then make that script executable (chmod 755 filename) and and save it in a separate directory using one of the filenames mentioned in PackageMaker's help...

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is inviting proposals for new sponsored top level domains. This may be wishful thinking, but isn't that a chance to push for a .mac top level domain (TLD)? I for one would VASTLY like the idea of having a domain of something.mac...

tosk: I know it's asking a lot, but is there any chance you could you possibly do a step by step description of exactly how you image and burn CD's? (Preferably giving relevant Preferences settings as well?) Thanks a million. ropers

Sorry, forgot to mention: using Mac OS X 10.2.5. Does anyone have any more ideas besides using Toast?

Hi all, I have a bootable (Wintel) PC CD. I would like to do the following: - image the CD on my Mac. - make some changes to the image (substitute some folders). - burn the thing again so it's PC bootable again. I would preferably do this without purchasing extra software. I have...

Many thanks, I would however be even happier it I could get it to work in Terminal as well - does anyone know a font that supports ANSI graphics? Thanks all, rop

Hi, I recently installed BitchX via Fink. Now every time I open BitchX, the ANSI coloured character graphics aren't displayed right. If I compare this to DOS, it's as if I didn't have an ANSI driver installed. It's basically all over the place. Any ideas? Any help would be much...

Further to this thread: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21045 Can anyone confirm whether lid closed operation is actually possible with an iBook? I.e. running Jaguar, if I close the lid on my iBook would e.g. iTunes keep playing? Thanks in advance, ropers

That is until and unless they pull and/or change that site, so act now please!
