Slau has strictly said, please don't consolidate lots of questions into one
e-mail, so I really hope she'll forgive me this one time, and one time only,
as I have enough questions, I feel making different posts for all of 'em,
really would be very impracticle and would waiste a lotta inbox space.
I'm gonna try to keep this list as brief and to the point as I can, but I do
have a few things that need addressing. I've been meaning to ask these
things, but I've been so lazy, I just haven't.
Anyway, please read down the whole list, as if you don't know the answer to
one a these, you may know the answer to another one of them.
k: here we go.
1. In Mail, under Leopard, if I get an e-mail which has a link in it, or
several links for that mind, I have been using the item chooser list to get
to them. Is there an easier way to click them aside that or the vo+U links
list?
2. If I wanna send a link to someone, but rather than in the e-mail, it
showing the URL as the link text, I'd rather it say something like: click
here to go to the site, is there a way to make that happen? I tried using
html markup, but it didn't work.
3. In Leopard, I know I can go to universal access in system prefs, and
turn high contrast on, and I also know that under system prefs, in
appearance, I can change the highlight color from blue, to whatever, like
now I set it to red, but, that is only changing the highlight within a
program. so let's say I am at the desktop on my finder, and I hit vo m,
then down arrow in the Apple menu. Even though I turned it to red, that!
highlight in the menu on the menu bar's still a light sky blue color. I was
wonderring if I could change that to red, or dark purple, or something like
that a my choice.
4. I do not have a mouse on this machine, as I don't have room on my desk
for one. If I go to a link on a web page in Safari, and then vo+command+F5,
I then can't do vo+shift+M. I wonder aside hitting control and then
clicking the physical mouse, being I don't have the resources of desk room
to put a mouse up there to do that, is there another way, or am I kind a
screwed as faras that goes.
5. My final question is: I have that old Mac system that I got back in
July that came with Tiger on it. I'm not talking my quick silver running
Leopard, I mean that other older one. Anyway, I wanted to wipe it, and put
Ubuntu Hartsy on it. my only issue is, when I pop the CD in the drive, and
reboot, and hold down the C key to boot to CD, it won't boot. Yes the disc
is bootable, as when I put it in a windows based machine and try booting to
it, it works flawlessly. I'm just wonderring if installing Linux on a Mac
is a little more tricky than I think, and if so, what've I gotta do?
OK, I'm done. That's all for now. Sorry for the huge list. I feel I
should a written a novel. LOL! Sorry bout that. Hey! I did? warn ya
though, did I not? LOL!
Chris.
