Another handy link is http://www.linux1394.org. If the info is not there, it may not exist yet -- but I have had FW disks working in modern (with the last year) 2.4-series systems on PowerPC hardware with no problem. No reason why it shouldn't work for x86. Cheers, ~kj

My guess is that it's trying to do DNS lookups and failing. As for why it's failing, I have no idea -- I'd have to see it and play around with it to tell you that. Some things to check would include whether your DHCP client is being run before or after the network services (lpd and sendmail)...

Count one vote for postfix. It's extremely easy to configure, and the author knows more than his share about security (two points to anyone who can name one or more projects Wietse did with Dan Farmer). Cheers, ~kj

Note also that your "Total 14" is likely referring to disk blocks in use by the contents of your directory -- not the number of files in the directory. Cheers, ~kj

My CAD0,02 is to learn and use fdisk(8). It is reasonably consistent across systems that use it (generally non-BSD), and knowing it will pay you back in the future, as it allows for a much finer level of control over what's going on. Cheers, ~kj

Which programming language? If you are looking to do it in shell script, it is wise to use the "-n" flag to "echo" (depending on your shell, it's either builtin (consult your shell's manpage) or uses an external program (consult "man echo" -- though this is rare...

The mailx command does not handle MIME and attachments -- it is doing exactly what you ask it to (mail the output of uuencode). What's missing is the MIME information that lets Outlook know you're intending it as an attachment, rather than message text. Check on http://www.freshmeat.net and I...

Check out http://www.freshmeat.net -- there are two 3270 emulators listed. I have only used one of them (tn3270), and it was pretty capable. It looks like the other listed project there might be a better bet for your needs, though -- I believe it is more up to date. Cheers, ~kj

To further answer your question, a great amount of Unix software can be compiled and run on Mac OS X. Be sure to install the development kit (available at the Apple Developer Connection) before trying that, though. Note that for some older software that uses the GNU autoconf-based 'configure'...

You are booting into OpenFirmware, so you can find quite a bit of information on what's going on. A handy command (among others) is 'printenv' -- this will show you a list of environment variables. The one you're looking for is 'boot-device', if I remember correctly. If that is empty or looks...
