Then it was no problem to get the information I needed. Now I can Install MacOS 9.1 MacOS X 1.0. This leads me to ask: I'm looking forward to putting MacOS 9.1, OS X, and Linux on my newly purchased Tibook this weekend, and I'd like to ask up front, not having messed with the newworld macs

X probs after upgrade

2001-03-21 Thread Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
I've been tracking testing, but held back my X stuff because I didn't want to deal with potential X breakage, but then my upgrade last night left me with sawmill not working for some reason. So this morning, I decided to let X roll forward, and now I have this weird situation: On book, gdm

thats an oldworld so the CD is not bootable. you need to use the boot floppies which may or may not work since they don't detect the keyboard properly for most people. (when they ask for the root floppy) Although the original author wanted to be able to remove MacOS completely, I will pass

I've had a different experience - the Debian submenu hasn't been there for months. I don't remember exactly but it went away at about the time I switched to Helix. I'm running the Helix debs from idorulabs, and I have the Debian Menu. I recall, in order to get the Debain menu, I had to go

Re: debian-powerpc: I can't find pmud

2001-02-26 Thread Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
In apt 0.5 it is now possible to do apt-get install pmud/testing to install another release's version of a single package. apt 0.5 is only in unstable at the moment, so it wouldn't have helped your particular case, but in the future these things should be easier. I'd read this elsewhere,

mozilla 0.8 from penguinppc and PSM

I'm still trying to get PSM to work with the mozilla 0.8 rpms downloaded from penguinppc.org. So far I have: 1) alien installed mozilla.rpm -at this point mozilla wouldn't put a window up on the screen 2) I ran the postinstall script that Ethan provided in his email as root -mozilla

more mozilla 0.8 fun (java plugin)

2001-02-21 Thread Wilhelm Fitzpatrick
Okay, even if I don't have PSM working, I thought I'd see if the java plugin works with moz 0.8 (from the penguinppc RPMs) So I made a link for the javaplugin.so (JDK 1.3 PL 1) into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory, and restarted mozilla. At which point it registers the plugin under about

Okay, I now I'm thinking that mozilla 0.8 w/PSM might just not work on Debian. I removed the rpm versions of moz 0.8, replaced them with the tar.gz build off mozilla.org (which includes PSM), installed in my home directory so mozilla can scribble wherever it wants, and I get all the same errors.

It's running so far for me. It's not so fast as on i86, but thats java. The 1.1.8 JDK is nice and fast if you use the metroworks JIT. Sadly, there is no JIT yet for JDK 1.3.0 on the PPC, and performance suffers quite a bit as a result.

I tried installing the mozilla 0.8 rpm from penguinppc.com, using alien. It installed fine, and I can run mozilla from the command line, which creates a .mozilla subdirectory in my home directory and spawns four /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin processes, but no window is actually ever displayed on
