  • Hmm...Home on iPod. Tiger Server & client together will offer the ability to synchonise a user's local home with a network one (Mobile Accounts). Maybe this technology could be leveraged to let you keep a home on your Mac sync'ed with one on y…

  • Really, don't bother. You can pick up an infinitely faster, better quality, quieter printer for so little these days. Time to pension off the old one. Look at it this way, for $300 you get 5 years of printing, or for maybe $100 and a lot of fan…
  • Would /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/ do what you want?
  • You can use 'grep' in the Terminal to seach through the content of your prefs files. try something like: grep 'NameOfYourFolder' -r ~/Library/Preferences my folder showed up in various pref files. The location in com.apple.internetconfig.p…
  • Quote: Originally posted by shetline I don't think the big trick here is creating a bootable disc. The issue is defeating the model-specific testing done by a Panther DVD that comes bundled with your computer, so you can use a modified DVD copy a…
  • Delocalizer works fine. All it is is a GUI for a 'find / -name xxx.lproj -delete', where xxx=the localisation you want removing. I use it all the time prepping images for NetRestore distribution, and can lose 10% from the loadset - fantastic. H…
  • How are you connecting to the share? Is it an Apple server, or perhaps W2K over smb? If you copy the file to an OS9 box, and then copy it to the X box via simple sharing ( say, on the X box), does it work ok then?

  • I knew a guy in college ( mid 80s) who had a one-handed chording device - he loved it, but i couldn't try it, since i'm left-handed. I googled around, and found it: I think it had a serial port of some type, so you could dump your text. He …
  • Of course, the fact you installed a much faster HDD had nothing to do with it...
  • If you have a newer Mac without an OS9 CD, then classic is in a folder called .images at the root of your restore CD/DVD. It's a dmg usually called OS9General.dmg. You can simply mount this and copy (or use the CLI command 'ditto --rsrc') the Syst…
  • Well, the simplest tool is the sterling Carbon Copy Cloner ( www.bombich.com ). You'll need an external drive, or at least a second partition, to back up to. But you do back up your data already, right? Jellytussle's One Rule of Computing is alwa…

  • Well, on the macosxlabs.org webcast on 'Panther and UNIX' (or something close), they said that it's BSD 4.8 based 'to maintain binary compatiblity for our larger software vendors'. I think there's some 5 on the userland side.
