Greetings. Slowly my PowerBook 2400c is taking shape. I got 8.6
update successfully installed. I got 128-bit encryption working on
the wireless card. And I'm getting all my favorite apps installed.
Now I am the tweaking stage, and have a few questions. It's been a
long time since I've lived in the pre-OS X world, and I've
forgotten so much!
1. I'm wanting to get as a lean an OS as possible. I've turned off
as many obvious extraneous Control Panels and Extensions that I
can, but I'm sure there's a bunch more that I could turn off if I
only knew what they related to. Is there a source that describes
these and gives some indication about whether they are essential?
Look up InformInit, if it's still around...
2. After trying a few different browsers, I've opted for Netscape
4.8. Seems to be the snappiest. But I'm having trouble locating the
ability to rename bookmarks. It must be obvious. I highlight a
bookmark in Edit Bookmarks.
You select the bookmark, then select "properties" somewhere, I think
by just holding down the mouse button. Netscape implemented "context
menus by holding down the mouse button" a long time ago.
