Re: (OT) installing GIMP on OS X.

[Shannon Nugent]

Nope.  That's GIMP "Print".  I'm looking for "GIMP" the graphics 
program,  sorta like Photoshop.  I don't really need GIMP,  but I wanna 
see how that would run under on my 733 Quicksilver under OS X.2.1.  I 
just wanna try other graphics programs now instead of the standard 
Photoshop,  Graphic Converter,  and Freehand.  I'm trying to build up a 
small library of Graphics programs on my computer (mainly lots of cheap 
or free (read -- shareware or open source) sorta stuff.  I wanna learn 
at least a couple so that I can have some good things to mention on my 
resume.  Some companies might need Photoshop people,  other would like 
Freehand users,  some need people to know other graphics programs,  
etc.  I haven't been able to land any jobs in the graphic arts/design 
field or anything even close for that matter.  And the ones that do 
look good request certain skills that I don't have.  I just think if 
have experience in a few more programs (whether its theirs or not) that 
that might increase my chances of getting a good job (jobs in general I 
mean).  Might make me look a little better.

Besides,  command line stuff is a little intriguing now.  I'd like to 
explore it a bit.
BTW,  I'm not going to do anything that would mess up my computer by 
installing X11 (or any variation) will I?  i can still run AQUA right?  
Sorry this has gotten kinda off topic.

Just download the 4.7 MB bit from Apples website:

And install it. No need for weird CLI-stuff here. I downloaded it on a
dial-up for my parents. The installation manual can be a bit daunting, 
but
just follow it anyway, as it is with pictures and fairly easy to 
follow.

Cheers,
