imported from wiki, 18 September 2011 bash has a rather complicated way of working out which init files to read when it starts up.

imported from wiki, 16 May 2011 Installing Linux & OSX on a MAC Mini System by Stephen Davies
This article is a result of my experiences and nothing else. There are probably better ways to do some things but I didn’t find them or failed to get them to work.
The task was to install both OSX & Linux on a Mac Mini system.

imported from wiki, 16 May 2011 The Topfield ‘Toppy’ TF5800PVRA is a freeview HD recorder with a USB interface. You can download the recordings (.rec files) to a PC and then burn them to a DVD after a bit of juggling. Here is a four step working solution after many false starts:
