i'm reading the install instructions in "Installing and configuring Tomcat" from ONJava.com onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/03/29/tomcat.html?page=2 and i wonder whats the jdk location in os x. off topic : i can remember apps asking for it in os9 too, do you know its location in this os too ...

I've been looking for a workaround (these ya-newswatcher help files got me mad) but i guess if the root user cant delete it, the security features of an unix completely prevents you from deleting it when booted normally. You could probably boot in single user (hold command and s at startup) and...

boot on os 9.1 do a sherlock search for "trash" on your os x volume open the folders if it tells you it cant open an item inside an invisible folder, make it and/or its containing folder(s) visible by using apple's resedit get info command.

Hello all and thanks for all this information. Kudos to the guy who posted the tip about moving the vm file to another disk, it got my OS noticeably faster :D I badly need a ppp server so i can have my handheld connecting to the internet and accessing my local net. these pdas use the ppp...

this file serves as an index to your documents = a way for the computer to retrieve significant data from a large amount of files. it is used by sherlocks Find By Content feature.

check out stepwise.com there's a template for the development environment integrated to os x. all you need little c programming experience and the os x developer cd installed. or for the lazy like me wait for fully customizable utility docklings get released

i have the same problem. theres a simpler way to get your files : double click the entry in IE's download manager and click reveal in finder. this will in most cases make the file show up and is faster than loading sherlock... Please Apple fix these problems !!!

I guess as a basic starting point everyone who wanna eat some X knowledge should read "the unix system" by steve bourne, who wrote the first shell (sh). Thats the only book i own about unix and he proved to be quite useful…

I would really like to be able to su root in the Finder… To change file permissions within the GUI, cause i'm not very good with chmod… Apple, please add an "authenticate user" button in the file permissions settings panel !

In fact I will try to start an UFS install on that partition with the OS X beta cd as soon as my friend gets it back to me :) I wonder why the "Erase Disk…" option in the Finder's Special Menu is disabled by Apple… It would be great if this feature could be unlockable like some others described...

Same here OmniWeb b4 and b5 quit after some time at the splash screen. Blue G3 400 (SCSI) Rev A 256/49GB

SORRY - You're right --

HFS+ has a path+filename limit of 255 characters, that means MacOS X/Applications/etc. (the full path) must be under 255, BUT the filename has a 32 characters limit... (as far as i remember) Now imagine you want a cool GNU freeware thats been designed for linux but that could run on X. When you...

I'm afraid HD Utility formats a whole drive. I just want to convert ONE partition to UFS, not the whole 40 GB disk, where all my data is stored. I can't imagine erasing all that stuff… Do you know for sure if HD Utility will let me do that ?

I read here that you can speed up aapache by moving your web documents to something like /web. Couldnt this be tried with a user home directory ? I'm not sure where OS X stores the location of users' directories, but I bet this had to be done manually…

One of the things I love the most with OS X is the Finder’s ability to let you easily edit file permissions. To own again the Apps folder, open an OS X session as root with you admin password, click on the Apps folder in the Finder, and open the Inspector (File > Show Inspector or Command+I)...

oops in a term window type : ls - l /  ( read ell ess - ell slash ) or even l / ( ell slash ) to list all the contents of the root directory

in a term window type : ls - l to list all the contents of the root directory for more sophisticated users : ls -l / | grep "App" (grep is a filter) will produce : drwxrwxr-x 14 root admin 432 Sep 29 18:32 Applications

Do you know a way in MacOS X Public Beta to format an existing partition to UFS ? I'm really concerned by the filename size limitations when expanding *X packages. I wonder if it's possible in X or if I have to get back to OS 9 (which I try to use the less now :D) or to start and abort a new...
