Johan, I think I understand. If I play this right, I might even score a mac mini out of it :) I'd shoot for laptop, but I'm really quite happy with my Toshiba: it's the one with a Vista sticker but makes African drum noises when it boots. However, I will be honest enough to point out that there are macs available on campus where I could test it :( Armed with shell script that I know works, I could set it up for him pretty quickly. We also have an idle machine that is more or less begging to start running the Lynx.
Thanks!

MacOS is a NetBSD in elegant disguise, so linux file names are OK. There is no /home though, it's called /Users so you will have to make a symlink. And while you are at it you can make a /Users/wks that points to your boss' home directory. No need to make a new user :-) HTH, On 12 Aug 2010, at 20:53, Schwab,Wilhelm K wrote: > Will my Linux file names make sense to his mac?
