People have said that IE5 is supposed to work on osx...WRONG!! All it does is boot classic...LAME!!!

See my other message on IE5 and Carbon/Classic. Just because an app is carbon compliant (complient?), does not mean it will automatically run in native MacOS X -- it needs to be …

You don't need Terminal app to install Omniweb. While in DP3, use Fetch (included in the Demos) to download Open Up from ftp.stepwise.com and Omniweb 4.0 from ftp.Omnigroup.com. Op…

Eucci- good points you bring up about the different binary executable formats for OS X- however, it's only necessary to compile for mach-o if you want to debug from within OS X. Y…

Have any of you tried using OS X on a Rev. B iMac? I'm sure some of you have. And if so, could you tell me how it's performing? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! ---------------…

I have run-up DP3 on a rev. B iMAC, and to say it's not even beta yet, performance is very good (i'd say on a par with MAC OS 9. Cheers Gaffa.

I have cleared one partion but when I run the installer it says "Could not load the HDI driver (-47)" ??? What wrong? What's HDI?

The following is snipped from the DarwinOS-users mailing list at apple. Oh, and FYI, the workaround does indeed work with the 'parts' version of the download. enjoy... -----'twas …

thanks. it works. I have another problem now : I can not use/set nameservers. with the statup it displays a kernel fault (by the name services startup). anybodu any advice?

I have tracked down the exact failure. I saw this failure when I ran SystemStartup Registering nameservices (or something, can''t remember) : Bootstrap_register() failed (os/kern)…

the lookupd deamon give constant error messages to the screen. Is this related with NetInfo? What is NetInfo and how does it works? I know one thing : there almost no documentatio…

how did you try to setup the nameserver? i created a file called /etc/resolv.conf and added the lines: domain res.gatech.edu nameserver 128.61.15.251 and that worked. i got th…

Does OSX's TCP/IP stack compatible with PC's? I think It should be since the core OS is UNIX based. And it would be the greatest thing apple has ever done, it would be easier for I…

No, Apple's TCP/IP stack will be based on a new proprietary "Applenet" protocol which will be incompatible with everything else on the market, but which will introduce a new OSI mo…

Do u mean I still have to use something like DAVE or PCMaclink to network a hybrid environment? I really hate this if it is true. PC's are able to internetwork with UNIX/Linux tho…

samba is open source, so it's only a matter of time before someone ports samba to darwin and mac os x. ofcourse, samba is text based so people might try to sell graphical frontend…

Apple is using BSD sockets for its networking, with a backwards compatible OpenTransport call front-end to it only for Carbon apps. Also, Samba is already running on MacOS X Serve…

Im not familiar w/Samba, but does since linux/unix is capable of xplatform networking, then why will we still have to buy a 3rd party app to do this? One of the big arguments agai…

What the heck is xplatform networking??? If you mean networking with an X-Window front-end, Apple doesn't need to create Quartz, integrate QT and OpenGL, AND give you every X-Windo…

I think he was taking Cross(X) platform.

I think he was taking Cross(X) platform.

Yes, I was talking about cross-platform. Since Samba is Open Src, I cant see why Apple wouldn't incude its abilities in OSX. After all, AFAIK, an 'lite' ver of Appache will come …

"As I said previously, standardization is used as an argument to get rid of Macs. Enabling (as part of the OS) x-platform networking(file/print) would give Apple a leg up in corpor…

That seems really shallow to say that standardization causes Macs to be tossed out on their asses. The Army uses Webstar - schools use the Mac - tons of colleges have taken their I…
