Re: [MBZ] Squeaky SL trunk hinge
Today I 'finished', I guess. I touched up the paint chips that I'd gotten while working on the trunk lid. Since I was there I also touched up some other chips that I found on the lower lip of the trunk lid, and back behind the license plate. I glued back the trunk wall carpet, I used contact cement. I used more weatherstrip cement to glue/seal more of the trunk weatherstrip, in the hopes of keeping water out in the future. (I ran out of glue, in fact.) I then vacuumed and reinstalled all the carpets, and reattached the lower antenna mount. There was a missing clip for the antenna's carpeted cardboard shield, so I got some hardware from the junk box and rigged something to hold it in place. I tested the trunk light, it still worked. (Impressive in a way, considering how much stress got placed on the wire by the hinge during the operations.) I then cleaned up the trunk contents, putting away this and that. I put the tools in the pocket next to the battery. There, done! Let's call it 22 hours, though I bet that's short. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I'd get one that had FW800, eSATA, and USB, or at least two of the above.

One thing I was told when looking at an iMac 27, was that the built in cam would not work with MSN.

The suggestion of an external cam didn't work for me, as it defeats the purpose of having everything in one nice tidy box.

Get a run of the mill USB external HDD. Format it as FAT32.

As opposed to a main frame or server. And now the hardware isn't even really that different. So a new PC could be running Microsoft Windows, OSX, Linux, or BSD. /rant mode Mirror... So you want the same data available to both computers? OSX runs samba, which is better for MS Windows network sharing than MS Windows. Set it up so a directory (folder) on your OSX computer is shared via samba. Set up the WinXP with map network drive to make that OSX shared folder show up as S:, or whatever. Or are you wanting an external drive to be able to move between the two computers and both access the same data? Or do you mean something else? I think the best option is to run a virtual machine with OSX as the host and Win XP as the guest. Do what you must in MS Win, but all the rest of what needs to be done on a computer can be outside of MS world. --Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

OSX runs samba, which is better for MS Windows network sharing than MS Windows. Set it up so a directory (folder) on your OSX computer is shared via samba. Set up the WinXP with map network drive to make that OSX shared folder show up as S:, or whatever. Or are you wanting an external drive to be able to move between the two computers and both access the same data? Or do you mean something else? I think the best option is to run a virtual machine with OSX as the host and Win XP as the guest. Do what you must in MS Win, but all the rest of what needs to be done on a computer can be outside of MS world. --Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.ok... ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I believe the default shell is now bash, which means at any point in the command you can press tab and it will fill in for you as much of the command as it can until there is an ambiguity. On my machine I can type trace, press tab and I now have traceroute and it beeps. Press tab again and all the possible choices list. traceroute and traceroute6 are the two choices. Also, the command apropos will search the man pages for the term and list a very brief summary of the commands that might be apropos. apropos trace returns this list. kdump(1) - display kernel trace data ktrace(1)- enable kernel process tracing ktrace(2)- process tracing ptrace(2)- process tracing and debugging traceroute(8)- print the route packets take to network host traceroute6(8) - print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination trpt(8) - transliterate protocol trace And now you know how to find command is BSD or Linux! *grin* -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
