Normally, and with the little rabbit icon, it is even more simple: Of course, here, Freenet runs already, and so, one can only stop it, but when it is stopped, you have the choice to 'start Freenet'. That little icon, by the way should automatically go onto that menu bar when one clicks on it from the application folder (doesn't go in the dock !). I have installed Freenet on multiple Mac computers, and never was there an icon in the menu bar. I have always used the Java WebStart installer from the main page, having used it on computers with operating systems ranging from 10.3 to 10.6. Since that icon has never been available, I have always used the commands "run.sh start" and "run.sh stop". Is there something I'm doing wrong? Note to Fritz: 1.I noticed that Dsoslglece didn't explicitly describe how to shut down Freenet with the same method he described. From context, simply replace the argument "start" with "stop". 2. He also didn't explain where/what Terminal is. In case you don't know, it's located in /Applications/Utilities/ on your hard drive. To put it simply, Terminal lets you run commands through text, unlike graphical interfaces. So when you "cd" to a folder, you're telling your computer to only look at files in that folder when running commands. run.sh is a file in the Freenet folder which contains many pre-written commands to get Freenet running (and shut it down), so when you tell it to start it starts Freenet, and the same for shutting down. 3. If you ever want to know more about commands like "cd" that are built into your computer, type "man [command-name]". Man is short for manual, so as it sounds you'll be shown the manual to that command. A little advice still, if you are using normally Firefox, use another browser for Freenet ONLY, for instance Opera, that is very similar and just as secure. You can even locate it together with Freenet if you decided to use a protected disc image… so you can keep bookmarks safe Sorry, the message came back saying it was to big, so I reduced the pict and hope it passes now ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe Well, sorry for not giving more data… and since Dexter did a good job in completing it, I'll just add a last thing. Terminal is the console where to enter commands (to work on command line) You'll find it in the utilities… just double-click on it to open it Then you'll get a little window on your desktop… On it will be something like : *Last login: Sat Feb 12 15:12:05 on console iMac-de-Bill:~ Bill$ * Bill here would be your name, and, after the semi-colomn; ~ means 'home directory' (generally where you are at the beginning) and it always finishes with $ you enter whatever command just after that $. continuing with the commands, and to shut freenet. It goes this way: 1) same as previous, go to your Freenet Folder from terminal: to it> 2) press next line key 3) enter: ./run.sh stop 4) press next line key Be very meticulous in entering (and spelling) any command, it only accepts perfect ones… and also, restrain to fidlle around (just to experiment!), since Terminal is one of the most powerfull tool you could find on a computer. I may also add that as soon as freenet is on (you'll see its movements in and out of the net on LittleSnitch monitor), but you'll have to open your browser and enter this address: http://127.0.0.1:/ _To Dexter,_ and concerning the rabbit, yes it is a new little "plus" to Freenet (since only few versions), and very useful may I add. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
