I bought a linksys wireless WRT54G router for my MacBook. It works fine when no securtiy is enabled. The problem is that it won't work with WEP. I set up WEP, turn it on, enter the…

Ok I was not sure which section to go for but felt this more of a techniocal problem. My old Fedora Core 5 Machine had a 60gig drive which I am keeping. I want to transfer the da…

Are you setting the Powerbook in target disk mode or are you just connecting these two together with Firewire, thinking they'll show up on the desktop? Shut down the Powerbook. C…

I want the Linux Drive which is in the external encloser to mount. There is no other computer. I have my 60gig that was in a Windows laptop and is now sold in an external encloser.…

Ok I have got the system to see the drive under USB connection. Its a Linux LVM partition but I can not mount it... so I am again stuck. Who can help here?

It won't mount because Mac OS can't understanfd the linux file system. If the drive is formatted with ext2/3 then you can get it to work with this little tool here: http://source…

I honestly am not sure what the hell format it is. I got the swap drive to load but the one thats a linux lvm drive refuses to mount... So I am really confused. I will try what y…

You could also just connect the two machines to your LAN and transfer the files over using rsync/scp or via a Netatalk connection.

The only machines I have are macs right now. My neighbor has an old Duron Windows system, I could try to usse it but I have no clue how to try the network on them. I have a cross…

But the problem is every time I burn the ISO it does not work. I have used Firestarter FX, Toast 6 and Disc Utility and every time it will not read the ISO that it burns. (Yes I am…

It seems like he could boot the mac with the PPC Live CD version of Ubuntu and the linux HDD hooked up internally. Then he could drag and drop the files.

The only ubuntu CD I have is version 4 and its an install CD every ISO I burn just does not work... I have no idea why yet. On the other laptop is a P133 that refuses to boot off…
