Open a new Finder window, navigate to "Applications", and open DVD player. From the File menu select "Open DVD Media" (or it might say "Open Video_TS folder"), and then select the mounted image with the dialog box that pops up. Hopefully, it will now play.

First of all, close all applications except Disk Utility. To be sure, press Apple-Option-Escape, which will bring up a list of all applications open. You can manually quit any applications that are still open using this dialog box. When you're done, click the close button. Try again and see if …

Hello, I think the reason you're experiencing these problems is because you were trying to use color in your signature, which is [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread55206.html"]not allowed[/URL]. Also, make sure you're not using any "bad" words, because I suspect DaniWeb has a censoring system.

[quote=GriffIT34]I'm using an arbitrary port 8079? instead of 80.[/quote] I think you should only use port 80 for http. If that doesn't solve the problem, make sure you have the firewall letting through all inbound and outbound packets on port 80 from both LAN and WAN.

Hello, Linux has many advantages over Windows. However, Windows does have some advantages over Linux, so it's worth researching before you jump into Linux. [LIST] [*]Linux is easier to use if you use standard hardware. It will be much harder to install Linux on a laptop with SATA hard drives …

I found this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread41636.html[/url] Hopefully this is what you want. And as Yellow mentioned, a lot of image mounting is built into Mac OS X. Off the top of my head, OS X can mount .dmg, .iso, and .cdr

Debian Linux is what you might call very, very flexible because it runs on nearly any hardware configuration, from Motorola chips to PowerPC to the x86 structure. So whatever your machine is Debian Linux can most likely run on it. However, because installation is so different between different setups, this …

I was wondering if that was new or whether I had just never noticed it... Thanks, it looks great! It almost gives this website a more blog-like look to it, which is good. Congratulations on the nice design.

[quote=onthepond] I've never had problems with this computer . I've installed no new software recently and no new hardware at all.[/quote] It could be that the data is getting corrupted (it happens, even on a Mac). I would try a reformat first, and if the problem persists, your hard drive …

[quote=tech291083]i want to share files between them. how do i do so? need to use nfs?[/quote] It's relatively easy to share files on Linux. You can do it many different ways. For example, you could set up an SSH server, and then you could transfer files via SFTP (very similar …

Sounds like either your memory has a problem, or your motherboard is on its way out. I would say you should first test the RAM or insert some different RAM into the eMac, and if that doesn't work, then you should probably get a new motherboard (ouch).

Use the Linux install disk. There'll be an install option to erase and take over the entire drive, which is what you want to do. The Linux installer will do the rest.

[quote=Chris B.]Why would my computer tell me that both network devices are working properly, but also tell me that they are both disconnected?[/quote] I think Windows XP is reffering to the cable being disconnected; it doesn't have anything to do with the card. You may also want to try booting …

[quote=TheNNS]Linux --> To be used in workstations and servers.[/quote] It depends a lot on what distribution you use. I would consider SuSE and Xandros to require about the same skill level as Windows XP. It's just that people who are incapable try to run something like Slackware, and then get …

Hello, To prevent the use of MSN Messenger on a network, simply block all outbound TCP packets on port 1863. Of course, there are many ways to get around this block (such as going on web-based MSN login services), but this will block the majority.

Hello, It sounds like your SuperDrive is breaking down. I belive your Mac still has warranty coverage, so the best thing to do now is probably to get it repaired as soon as possible (before the warranty expires). SuperDrives are supposed to last longer than that.

If you're a US resident, buy all your stuff on [URL="http://www.newegg.com"]www.newegg.com[/URL] ... it has really good prices. For a graphics card, I would recommend what you suggested, the GeForce 6200 w/ 512 Mb. I think you will like this card (I have the GeForce 5200 on my iMac). This is …

[quote=darrenw89]top marks for who ever worked out how to translate it in the first place though.[/quote] It's not really that complex. Basically, each ASCII letter has a number.

I'm not completely sure, but it could be caused by some processes started by cron... maybe you should take a look at the system cron lists.

You should install a virus checker if you don't have one already, and run a scan on all the files you're planning to backup. It wouldn't do any good to bring the virus back on the freshly formatted system.

[quote=FOKASK]I get erros of the first line of the build.sh file.[/quote] Oh, THAT helps a lot. Post the error messages!

I think the trick to customizing a Finder window in OS X is this: [LIST=1] [*]Open a Finder window. [*]Customize it in every way you want. [*]Close immediately. Don't go into any other folders, just close the window. When it reopens, it should be exactly the way you want it.[/LIST]However, …

OK, how I would do it is like this: 1. When the computer is running, insert the Tiger disk. 2. No matter what the computer does, shut down the Mac. You shouldn't need an admin password to do this. 3. Here comes the tricky part. Your computer *should* boot from …

I'm using Firefox 2.0 RC1... some of my favorite features of 2.0 is that it features a seperate close buttons for each tab, that it now has a built-in RSS reader (as well as the Live Bookmarks, which aren't new). The interface is also a lot cleaner, and what I …

Yes, that's true. And it's quite possible to run Samba on Windows, using cygwin (Linux enviroment for Windows). [url]http://smithii.com/node/36[/url]

I assume you are talking about apps that are written for PowerPC Macs. You can run (most) PowerPC applications with Rosetta, a built in technology that ships with Mac OS X.

GRUB offers more features, but I find LILO is much easier to write a config script for, because the syntax is much better. This won't matter much if an install script does it automatically, though.
