I heartily concur with Andrew's Reunion recommendation. I've used it  
for a long time.
For an example of web pages that Reunion can produce, check out my web  
site.



However, there are alternatives...

If you don't mind the format being pretty simple, you can use:

find / -ls

or 

find / -print

(depending on what formatting you want) from the Terminal application.
To save the output to a file (for later printing from a text editor) you
can use:

find / -ls > all_files_on_disk.txt

DVD compatibility

[Severin Crisp]

My G4/400 has an internal optical CD,DVD-R drive (Hitachi DVD-ROM GD  
-3000) and I also have an external CD,DVD burner (Pioneer DVD-RW  
DWR-106D) which I believe is the same as an Apple Superdrive.
DVDs which I burn will not, however, read in the internal drive,  
though the Tiger DVD gave no problem.  From the Apple support area I  
glean that this may be a firmware issue though I can find no firmware  
update, nor can I find  a firmware reference for the drive from  
System Profiler.  The nearest I get is Revision 020S.

While this is not a problem, it is annoying.  Does anyone know of a fix?

Re: Scanning direction

[gary dorn]

If you have a scanner that uses a fluorescent tube, rather than LEDs 
to illuminate the object, then you should aim to scan as much as 
possible with the middle of the fluorescent tube. The reason for 
this is that the tube's characteristics change most nearest the ends 
of the tube, especially if it has been used a lot. So, with a 
fluorescent scanner, put the photo in the centre of the platen with 
the photo's long axis running down the platen. In that way you use 
the smallest width of fluorescent tube, and the bit you use is the 
middle bit.


Scanning a full-size piece of really white paper will often show up 
the way in which fluorescent tube characteristics affect a scan.

Have you checked the "Layout" setting in your Print dialog (the 
second one in the "Copies & Pages" popup). The "Border" setting might 
have inadvertently been set to one of the "double line" options.

Or use the Version Tracker widget or bookmark the Version Tracker RSS feed
page and put it in the bookmark bar. Might as well take advantage of the new
technologies available. I don't use widgets much but I have lots of RSS
sites in Safari which automatically tells me when there are new stories.

Yes. ABSOLUTELY check the firmware version. You'll have to download  
and run the Firmware 4.1.9 updater from Apple's website. It will  
install if needed, otherwise it will tell you that the firmware is up  
to date.


THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH. Installing Panther  
on certain iMacs of this vintage without first updating the firmware  
can damage the computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Everything you need should be on your Mac. If not, it will be on the  
CD that came with your iPod. Also, run Software Update after  
installing any of it.

Click on the Bookmark icon at the left of the Bookmark Bar. Click on  
the Bookmark Bar collection at the top of the list of collections.  
You will find that you have several folders listed, each containing  
multiple bookmarks, and some of those folders will have the "Auto- 
Click" checkbox activated. These folders show up in the Bookmark Bar  
as the ones with the squares next to them. Simply uncheck their  
checkboxes to turn the squares into triangles. You can also drag some  
of those bookmarks out of the folders and put them somewhere else to  
reduce their numbers in the Bookmark Bar.


The second bookmark bar row you refer to is the row of tabs,  
necessary for Tabbed Browsing, The purpose of "Auto-Click" bookmark  
folders is precisely that - to open a collection of bookmarks in  
Tabs. I must admit, though - 50 is a bit of overkill  :-)

On that machine I think the boot partition needs to be *less* than 8Gb 
in size, and it needs to be the first partition on the disk. I think 
this is mentioned in the Panther readme on the install CD.




Have fun,
