You can do it via the "terminal.app". sudo chmod 000 "directory" You can do the reverse also. sudo chmod 755 "directory"

Goto http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql There is a startup package there.

There is a pre-written Startup script on the Internet. However you can build your own by putting your startup actions, from the terminal window into: /Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL The last MySQl is just a file with something like "sudo ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &" in it...

Citrix Metaframe solves a lot pf problems, namely the client does get the user away from a PC on the desktop, thin clients can be very usefull from a site management point of view. There is a UNIX Metaframe server for SUN, HP and IBM, this permits UNIX apps to display into the same ICA...

I have a Gig of RAM also, but the machine felt smoother and less sticky when it was running 10.2.2 in 768MB. Chimera has hung three time since I upgraded.

Most operating systems when upgraded (especially MacOSX) have some form of performance alteration/hit, but its also likely that most of the slow down is due to emulation of the older apps using Carbon and less well written Cocoa apps due to the possible lack of exposure. I can't say for...

No disrespect but why not talk about buying a PC somewhere else. Buying cheap PC is old hat, we know how to do it. Utrecht is a great city, I loved it, I worked for SGI there.

OSEX - can create one major VOB - play it using vlc You can burn this too DVD or make a VCD.

The same happens with MicroSoft OS, for each invocation, for which there are so very many, there is a perceptable slow down and hence you need to buy a faster machine. Bill Gates knows this just fine, keeps the dosh rolling in for evermore....kind of got a sneaking admiration for the sly s*d.

"maintain1" can be found at www.versiontracker.com. I have used cronninx as well, some of these tools do a better job of explaining how sme of the UNIX tools, like cron, work than the books. I am just spending some time on PHP and Mysql, I feel useless at present, as a test case I am...

Agreed, there so much which is of use that could easliy be front ended. There is a framework out there already built called "maintain1", the author gives it away. It's a great place start with project and interface builder. The author shows you how to build a GUI and interface this with...

There's nothing really new about Apple's HFS+ apart from the fact that its rather underpowered as stated, how MacOSX handles the filesystem is just software. MAE works so its FileID is emulatable end of story, who cares how its done. Its just a sales tool to not have fsck, dump, cpio, and tar...

CUPS doesn't use SMB but uses lpr and such, however MacOSX may broadcast the printer using the SMB protocol and do the routing internaly. A bit like NT broadcasting and AppleTalk device for a Mac in the "LAN" environment, but is actually a printspooler for an NT printer. CUPS is brilliant...

You can "renice" and application from the root account or from SUDO. This controls how much time an application gets of the CPU.

Did you upgrade to 10.2 recently, if so you need the Jaguar version of MySQL. I was able to use PHP but I could not get into mysql and got your message. I upgraded to the Jag version and all worked out ok. Do take care to follow the instructions to the letter, about persmission etc its...

I have a PAl version of the Formac Studio, the company is pretty thin on answering emails - in fact I've not had one reply. I have a VHS at home capable of playing NTSC and PAl video's, I assumed that I could play an NTSC video and use the SCART or video out connector to take the signal into...

Strobe - I think you lost your plot again and need to read some more. I will say you are nicer than the strobe that lost this argument a year or so ago. You were initially talking twaddle about the filesystem, you got it wrong now your blaming UNIX, go in a straight line. "dump" keeps...

No what you are talking about is emulation, not what is really happening as a reality of a UNIX filesystem. see further comments bellow. Also take a look at this page just to give you a flavour: www.cabernet.demon.co.uk/XFS.html www.cabernet.demon.co.uk/xfs2.html Thats just a few...

I hear you and agree in many respects (I really appreciate inovative behaviour), however we are going to be stuck with this stuff for some time. Just one final point though, Unix's filesystem is no longer what it was 30 years ago, every vendor has its own SUN UFS (although I think SUN are...

The editpost did not seem to work. Getting back to defragmentation, why doesn't "fsck" work properly, "fsck" bog standard for all other UNIXs? Its a start and will give you an idea of how your disk is fragmented, the result is expressed in a %fragmentation
