Wolf68k Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Does anybody know of any CD Burning software that will burn a disc off a command line instruction? Cdrdao cdrecord Golden Hawk better known for making CDRWin CDRoast Cdrdao and CDrecord have ports for more than just Win and since you didn't say which OS, Win or Linux or Mac OS X, I'm just guessing you mean Win. I just did a search at google, I didn't read too much into these to see what features they have. Edited December 13, 2003 by wolf68k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly. Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I just downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird, and I would like to use it for my hotmail accounts. I need to know if this is possible, and if it is, I need to know the server type, the incoming mail server name, and the smtp name. I think I somehow managed to screw it up, but it would be nice if I could use this instead of having to go to the site and log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlook is the only thing I've seen or heard of that can check Hotmail. Hell Outlook is the only client I've seen or heard of that can check POP3, IMAP and HTTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't use hotmail directly, but this will act as an intermediary (translator) for Mozilla or any POP3 client and Hotmail. sysnode.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[nynex web]$ rmdir abc rmdir: `abc': Directory not empty [nynex web]$ instead of: rmdir abc use: rm -r abc The -r makes it recursive or something, basically it deletes everything in the directory, and then deletes the directory itself. sysnode.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThE kIng oF NyNEx Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 can mac OS X burn cd's from the terminal? If it can I need to burn an .iso image on a cd and i need to know how to.

EmSixTeen Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I posted this in the Desktop thread, but I'll post in here.. How do I assign a custom icon set to be my standard, if I just have the .ico files? I'm on Windoze 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I posted this in the Desktop thread, but I'll post in here.. How do I assign a custom icon set to be my standard, if I just have the .ico files? I'm on Windoze 98. You want to change the default folder icons or a file type's icon or what? You want a reg hack or a third-party program to make life easier but usually will cost you some cash? Third-party programs for this are easy to find, and there are some that will work for both 98 as well as XP. I don't know of any reg hack off hand, and trying to change it in Folder Options so fast hasn't worked for me but then I didn't try restarting after trying to see if that is what is needed to get it to work. can mac OS X burn cd's from the terminal? If it can I need to burn an .iso image on a cd and i need to know how to. ( when i say that, i don't mean just burning the single file onto it, i need to burn the cd as an image ) You asking if OS X terminal can do it as it is installed or are you looking for a third-part terminal add-on program? My best suggestion would be, just get Toast and be done with it. Toast should be able to burn ISOs easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf68k Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Whats the best CD/DVD burning utility? If you vote Nero, what version? Depends on what you want it to do? For a good all around, then I use Nero 5.5 (I forget the build) I haven't tried 6 yet but I hear good things about it. For some disc-to-disc copying that Nero has probelms with I use CloneCD.

Wolf68k Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 If you're just doing simple data backup, like storing images or music or stuff like that, Nero should be fine But if it's your drive you plan to back up, you might want to think about using Retrospect from Dantz, they have a trail version that is good for 30days. Ideal for drive or large backups, it also compresses it to help save space. I use to use this on my old Mac with Zip disk. Never failed me. And for restoring, you can do complete restores or selective files only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_punK noodleS_ Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 ok this is probably going to get alot of flaming but whatever... what program do i need to edit ps2 games on my comp (XP) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteakPhish Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Even if you could edit PS2 games there's not much good that would come out of it, because if you even wanted a chance of playing the edited game you'd need a mod chip, a dvd burner, and a blank DVD. You'd have to copy the contents of the disk onto your computer and then onto the blank DVD and even then i doubt it would run on your PS2. Google would be my best bet, and if you can figure out how to get it to work, all the power to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteakPhish Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Yeah you have to know close to nothing about programming to mod Vice City and GTA3, although other games will take a little bit of skill to mod. However, the GTA games are an absolute riot to mod because of all the wacky things you can do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 How can I give a folder a blank name...or at the very least so I cant see the text of the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Windows just won't let you. The smallest character I've found that you can put in there is a comma , Question to you; why? What are you trying to do? Side note; you can do this on a Mac with easy. Infact I have a program that you can give it an image and it'll slice it up into piece that are 32x32 and make blank files (but you can do the same thing with folders) with a piece of the image as it's icon and it uses spaces as the file name and puts them in order in a folder so that all the piece are lined up to recreate the image. Did it for a Newton software CD I made for my dad when he was selling his and several people wanted to buy just the CD because it looked so good.....can't ask for a better compliment.

Atomic Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Well it works if you rename my computer and the recylce bin nothing but spaces but it wont do a normal folder. Im trying to make my desktop look all clean and junk by removing the names, which worked for the most part cept for that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Let me guess, it only works on My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin, and Network Neighborhood, right? Think that's because Windows looks at those as elements, where as everything else is a file or folder which must have characters it can use.

Superfly. Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well, erm, sort of a weird question, for PC chat anyway, but uhh, here goes. I have this old Mac 5200, and I went to install OS 8.5 on it, but the installation got an error halfway through, and I didn't want to skip that part in the installation because it was a vital part of it. So I restarted with another copy of OS 8.5, firstly to initialize the drive, then to install it. However, as it was booting (to the CD), it 'bombed' and told me to reboot with extensions off (by holding the shift key). So the only option that I have is to hit restart, it kicks the CD out, trying to boot up normally. Problem is that there isn't an operating system on there, so it comes up with the little folder thing with the '?' on it. And it bombs every single time I boot to the CD, and I can't boot up without extensions, because I can't boot up normally anyway. And don't say, 'hold down the shift key while it's booting to the CD,' because there aren't any extensions on when you boot up like that. Help?

First just to make sure, these copies of OS 8.5 are from Apple, or disc dub'ed copy, and not something someone made up themself right? Saying that it got an error half way through the install isn't much help. Knowing what the error would be better. Try it again with that disc and write it down and get back to me. I've never seen or heard of a CD booting and saying you need to start with extension off, hell I don't think I ever remember seeing the OS say that either. You are holding down the C key when you boot the CD right? or you can use Shift+Command(Apple)+Delete, I think that's right it's been a while since I've had to use it...if not try Option+Command(Apple)+Delete and remember that's Apple's delete key which is the same as PC's backspace. @lawley Does XP also tell you what the file and path name is besides just the process name (something I wish 98 did)? Get the file name and search that. Something tells me if Google doesn't show anything with that name, and I hope you spelled it right, then it's not a good thing.

Yeah, I've tried two copies of 8.5, both from Apple. It was back on Tuesday, I believe, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I think it was installing "Mac OS Runtime," or something like that, and the error was like 11875 (this was at work, and I'm not going back there until summer). I don't know if you've ever seen it, but sometimes when you boot up a machine, then it'll 'bomb,' giving you this little picutre of a bomb and then it recommends to reboot with extensions turned off. Yes, I am holding down the C key, I've installed a lot of OS's, imaged a lot, lot more (either from the CD or through firewire [firewire was used to do OS X]). It doesn't matter that much to me, because this machine is being donated, but it would be better to donate it then to throw it out. Edit: Antecedent -> pronoun agreement.
