Not having OS X.x I've not added to the thread.
My question: do you have a root account?
I've followed the thread but fail to see how sudo would work without a 
root login, does the admin login cover this? sorry if I'm looking 
through linux eyes. Gretchen is possibly having permission problems? 
file not found is a common error when a user tries to access a admin 
file or a file which is not included in their group access.
Am I mistaken in thinking OSX does not install a root account by default?

Re: Reinstalling Win98 on a P166 card

Hi Folks,

Just an update. I tried the registry rebuild recommended here. 
Unfortunately, all that did was crash the PC. So I gave up and made a 
new drive container. The drive container started up fine. DOS and Win98 
installed with no problems (except taking a huge amount of time). Good 
so far.
You'd have been better off cleaning the rubbish out with a windows 
utility or atleast backdating the reg before rebuilding. Even after 
the rebuild crashes you still should have been able to backdate the 
reg to a time before the attempt. A reinstall is best if you have 
nothing of value otherwise its generally repairable.

Unfortunately, my 64 MB memory card now appears to be kaput (when I put 
it into the 7500 by itself I get the breaking glass sound) and my sound 
does not work. Ah well, I guess I will run on 16 MB for a while.
I dont think the card is as fussy as a mac which is why the card will 
boot with a dodgy simm. Win98 on 16mb isn't any fun, have you tried 
Winlite? You might find it useful regardless of the amount of ram, 
Win95 explorer and 98 functions.
Anywho the ram problem explains the part of you previous post which I 
couldn't figure.

If I put a 128 MB card in the P166 will it work? Will it cause any 
problems?
GURU says no!, FPM only but 72mb (8 onboard or 80 with 16) is the max 
supported. Brian is the only person to try 128mb I think. I'd be 
interested since the ram is dirt cheap.

Sadly the link Dana posted earlier is down again.

Once your up to speed install some utility to keep the rubbish down.

Well shiet, sorry for trying.
There's zero mention of you having a driver disk "in the box" and no 
mention of you having any version of the driver or any sort of 
documentation. Heck, there's no mention of you trying the Asante 
driver at all or why its no good. Why dont you try a search of apples 
tech notes about Apples NB ethernet extention if the makers driver 
does nothing for you. I'd imagine you'd have more luck with a driver 
from Asante. Its the only nubus card they made, no use for a pc at all 
now why didn't Asante pay a few folk good money to update drivers for 
a multiple of point upgrades so nubus owners could be supported all 
the way to OS10.4? Go figure.

Hey, if I can find a link, you should have no problems at all, right?

You might try the first mac list (whatever its called) where someone 
else is trying the same thing with the same mac.

In future I'll check for your cross posts before wasting my time 
looking for links based on the small about of info you provide.

Can't imagine why anyone would bother going past 8.6 on a 601 nubus 
mac/clone (unless I bought the G3 card for $75 aud even then they cant 
hold enough ram, its 72 pinn and since it sucks mem for the video from 
the mobo it cant be interleaved unless its a real mac which has its 
own vram but still cant interleave the mobo ram). Why mention 
interleaving at all? Well its the best way to get something that feels 
like speed out of any biege mac and even then you must have shit loads.

Now to sit back and watch the flood of more useful comments come in.
Please excuse me for not having your mac and having sweet fa info to 
work with!

I should have mentioned in my last note that the bad RAM card was 
from Velocity Upgrades. Does anybody know what happened to them?

Normally you should type in 'exit' on the command line before closing
a terminal window, but I don't think it hurts too much when using
pico.  I may be wrong though.
Also, when typing in "pico.mime.types", there should be a space
between 'pico' and 'mime', not a period.  That should get you back
into that file.

Brian,

OK.  I'm a little closer.  I was able to do the first
part--pico.mime.convs.  When I got to the point where I typed "Y" to
save modified buffer (whatever that is!), it went fine.  When I  
pressed
return, however, it said "file not found."  So I closed the terminal
window, and opened a new one.  I typed in "pico.mime.types," and it
said "file not found."  I don't know what else to do.  BTW, I hope I
didn't mess anything up by just closing the window.  I really am a
novice with the terminal.

	4.  	Use a text editor to uncomment the following line towards

I usually use pico as the editor, as it is fairly self explanitory

I moved the cursor towards the end of the file until I saw the line

I then removed the # sign by using the delete key (del didn't work).
It's like the 5th line from the bottom of the file.
Then I pressed Control  and X to exit the pico program.
It will ask you to Save Modified buffer.  Type 'Y' to proceed.
It will then ask you for a file name.  Press Return to accept the
default file name.

5.  Also uncomment the following line towards the end of the
mime.types file:
 #application/octet-stream

The two files mentioned above can only be saved once the sudo

is issued.  This is done in Step 3.

While I'm not as proficient with the BSD command line, I've used PCs

the only way to do things.
