    And 85 is FINAL?!

    I have the Geforce 2mx (apple card) and it runs like a charm. Don't know what issues you were refering to... Another problem I have come across though, is the fact that my sound volume is constant. I can change it, but it doesn't affect the output... Only sound off affects the volume.

    2 questions Multiple accounts? (sendmail and ftp)

    I found an old thread about it, with a script somebody had created to create and remove mail-only users. It works fine for me it seems. However, I have yet to find out how to check email from the accounts except my own. Using: sudo mail -u username does the trick, IF mail has got in, and...

    2 questions Multiple accounts? (sendmail and ftp)

    1.How do I set up several accounts for sendmail? Without having to create a whole new user account in sys-prefs, since I ONLY want the mail functionality. 2. Can I set up the built-in ftp server to accept several users (again, just for ftp, not "normal" users) that should also have access to...

    Manual install of OSX

    I just found out something that might help a LOT... See the "pusher" file inside the OSInstall.mpkg? Open the terminal, and drop that file on top of it... What do we see, well, I think we see that pusher IS the installation program... So, how do we use it then, that's the next thing to...

    I learned programming mac apps, after having breefly looked over some C console programming, by just having a look at the silly balls example, and then change a bit, and one more bit, until I understood how it worked =) Then I checked apples VERY useful documentation online and their...

    Manual install of OSX

    hmmm, strange, I thought I had pm on... Well, I will try something new today... I'll install osx (booting from the cd) and then compare the mach_kernel on disk, with the one on the cd... Then I can see if there's any difference, and if so, I'll be able to figure out what that is...

    Manual install of OSX

    I just discovered something that might help us out in the long run... you see, in essentials.pkg, there's no Installer.app or Disk Utility... But these are in the Application directory on the cd instead... so, they must be copied from the cd... the further we go, the more files seems to be...

    OK, when I copied, sbin and dev it stopped complaining about the /dev folder (strange, as it is empty anyway like the one on the cd) BUT it still complained about sbin, now with another error code: Load of /sbin/mach_init, errno 88, trying /etc/mach_init Load of /etc/mach_init, errno 2

    Manual install of OSX

    Actually, I have a functioning DVD-rom... Nevertheless, I want to install the OS, without BOOTING from the cd. I mean, I shouldn't be impossible, I mean the data is there, I just have to copy it somehow... (to another partition than the startup) Here's some more info I got (I booted from...

    Manual install of OSX

    a symlink??? what's that and how do I do one? (sorry for sounding newb'ish) BIG problem, mach.sym isn't on the cd! Might that have something to do with the "symlink" I see above? Oh I see, there's a terminal commando symlink... that helps... but what's the mach.sym really?
