- I installed A/UX over the weekend, and began to use it. I have some questions.
- 1. No matter how I set icons or window positions in the A/UX 32bit Finder,
- when I log back in, they get reset, yet the Views control panel doesn't
- say `snap to grid' or anyhing like that.
- 2. The color mode of my video board gets reset to B&W whether it was set to
- 8 bit color or 24 bit, etc.
- 3. What is the relationship between the /mac/sys/System Folder, the
- /mac/sys/Login System Folder, the /mac/sys/Startup System Folder, and the
- individual System Folders of users? I would like to put only one copy of
- each extension and control panel, etc on the system and use aliases/links
- to other places. Also, how can I set things so when I create a new user,
- their System Folder gets the setup I want?
- 4. Is Motif available anywhere, so that I can dump twm in X11?
- 5. I've decided that I will never use MacX. Can I delete it from the
- drive, and which files are safe for deletion?
- 6. This is related to (3), but I noticed that there are multiple System
- files all over the place. Can I just have one, and link the rest?
- 7. How can I change the Finder display so that hidden files get listed at
- .cshrc, not (big dot)cshrc?
-
- I will undoubtedly have more later, but thanks in the meantime. - Gary
