I would also say you have a preference file or something similar stored in you DMG. When opening the application it tries to open the DMG to reference the file. I was just trying to remember how I installed fuser on my mac as that would show you wha…

Try unplugging the second drive again and rebooting. You might have to boot from cd-rom and select the boot device now (or hold down option key while booting and select drive if it appears from list). Dobby.

There is a 137GB limit. (ata limit needs ultra) 120GB drives are fine otherwise you need to purchase an ultra ata100/133 pci card had plug them into this. Then you can use 250GB 300GB drives. Dobby.

I've run into problems when connecting as I've left off the workgroup from the username during authentication. Dobby.

The faster drive is better. You can always buy a 200GB USB drive and plug that in for archive purposes. The faster the boot drive the better and don't run your computer from a full harddrive as when its full its slow. Dobby.

masticate - mastication - masticating! Just sounds sooo wrong! Dobby.

You could try booting from an os x disk and selecting the os 9 system as a boot volume. Have you tried re-blessing the system folder. (sorry not sure how I never used OS 9, came from an OpenStep background to mac again). Edit. Probably the same if…

You need to stuffit from Aladdin systems. www.Stuffit.com or from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...texpander.html You might find an older version (7 or 8) on www.versiontracker.com what will last longer. I thought stuffit came with the OS…

You can try by down loading the source and the gcc compiler and compile. Dobby. Edit. (sorry I thought you were talking about gimp, changed.).

It will only be a matter of time before viruses/trojans etc will appear on the OS X/Linux market. Luckily it is a lot hard to write a proper virus for unix than it is for Windows. I will be intersted to see how Singleton (from MS) holds up to viru…

You can also use terminal Open a terminal window and $ find / -size +102400 -exec {} \\; This will return all files from / (root) that are greater than 100MB. The size is in 512byte blocks. Dobby.

Did anyone here also buy Apple stock back when it was under $20 per share? Dobby.

Open terminal - $ find / -exec file {} \\; |grep executable This will return any file that can can be run (an app). Probably not useful for what you want but like XP you will be amazed at the mountain of executables on your machine. Dobby.
