Do your part.
1. I am not an isolationist. 2. All of the available documentation is on the web and the Wiki. Creating a separate paper document is so 20th Century. (And I'm not kidding about this we need to get the latest/greatest on the web not in some longish readme file that absolutely NO ONE reads.) > >> Second, please send messages about Mac OS X problems to the Mac OS X porting >> list. >> > >Ah, more separation. No. Most of the Mac OS X porting team does not have the time to read through the hundred or so messages posted here each day that have nothing to do with the Mac OS X port. I decided to join this list after being advised to do so by a regular Mac OS X team member. Some of the problems we encounter are specific to the Mac port and would be considered clutter by most other mailing list standards. If we find something, identify it, and then have a fix, we would like to post one and only one message to as many lists as it takes. Remember, each of the NL groups also has its own list. Thus we would like to keep problems here isolated to user problems that affect all of the platforms. > >> David: >> >> Could you please tell use what your problems are with the Mac OS X >> installation guide >> on the Mac OS X porting list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) so we can improve >> this document. > >I referred to this document as well. This is what we have on the web. Take a look at it. It is there for every one to see and comment on. If you have a better way, add your comments to the ongoing discussion in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. We do want to do things better/smarter/easier. BTW, the BASE problem I'm referring to only affects the Mac and only the MacTel platform. Posting that this is broken here is not the best, but it keeps folks from using a broken product. This is a known problem with using Java to affect some of the functionality and the Apple VM is not as compliant as one would like. A fix is in progress and when it is available in a production worthly release, I will advise.
