[ SOLVED ] Installing without having a running network connection

How do I install Archlinux if I need to install ipw2200-fw ( modem firmware ) to be able to connect to my wireless network ?
Modem driver is already loaded, but I can not connect to any networks without having it's firmware installed.

I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive? If so you can do it in one of two ways:
1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air. Mount the disk image and install from it. I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA.

Discoverer URL - Hide password without having to use public connection

Hi,
I would like to call Discoverer Viewer without having to expose the schema password and without having to use public connections. Is this possible? Disco Viewer is called directly from my application, with custom authorization and authentication. I do not want to expose reports to the public by creating public connections.
TIA.
Tamas

Hi,
If you use an HTTP Post in your application to pass the viewer URL to the Discoverer server then you can supply the password as a hidden input that will not be visible to the users.

How to share and Access DB (.accdb) with global tables that link to SQL Server tables without having to define ODBC connections on each client PC?

I have an Access DB with quite a few Linked Tables that point to a SQL Server backend db. Currently I am using an ODBC connection defined on my pc, but I want other users to be able to download the .accdb file from a share and run. Will I have
to define this odbc connection on each client's pc? Is there a better way to do this without having to have each client manually set this up on their PC?

Hi Jason,
I think you can automate that process. In each application I use a one-record-table in the FE with a field Connected. Connected is default False.
Starting a database in the development mode ignores this flag. Starting a database in production mode starts, if Not Connected, a procedure to RefreshLink the tables to the BE, and makes Connected = TRUE, so a next startup does not
result in a new RefreshLink.
Instead of a Boolean you could also use a string containing the path, or whatever you want.

[Solved] Keeping Arch updated with no network connection

Hello all,
I'm very interested in using Arch and had a few queries that I couldn't quite find a clear answer to in my searchings. I have been computer-less for a year and now that I have a new one, I decided that I don't want to go through another Gentoo install if I can avoid it.
So here is my dilemma, the computer I want to install Arch on does not have a network connection and is unlikely to get one in the near future. I'm also not keen on moving computers around each time I want to update the GIMP. A second computer in the house (running windows xp) does have a network connection. While using gentoo, I would do
emerge -pretend -verbose <package name>
Then I would write down all the packages, download them from the windows computer-->USB drive-->copy to gentoo computer, then install the packages. A little time consuming, but it was less hassle than moving computers around. This also enabled me to get a copy of the latest portage tree as the entire tree can be downloaded in tarballed form (instead of doing an emerge -sync).
So my question would be, is it possible to do something similar on Arch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I used the custom repo option a week ago to install programs on a pc that did not have net access. It was a bit tedious, but it worked. Here are the steps I did:
1. Download core.db.tar.gz and extra.db.tar.gz from the mirror you use.
2. Transfer to the linux machine and extract in /var/lib/pacman/sync/{core,extra}
3. Run 'pacman -Sp package > pkgs.list'. This will place the urls for the package and all of its dependencies in a text file.
4. Transfer the list to the windows machine and run 'wget -i pkgs.list'. This will download all the packages. You will need to download wget for windows.
5. Transfer everything back to the linux machine, run 'repo-add custom.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.gz' to create the repo.
6. Add to pacman.conf, changing the path:
[custom]
Server = file:///media/usb/pkgs/
7. pacman -Sy package
I have not tried it, but you can probably skip steps 5 and 6 if you use --cachedir like lilsirecho says.
pacman --cachedir /media/usb/pkgs/ -Sy package

I need to install Firefox on a non network connected pc, is there a zip file somewhere?

I need to install a browser on a windows computer that has no network connection. Is there a standalone installation package available that I can transfer via flash drive? The computer is used for testing and I hate IE.

hi frogjr, you can obtain the firefox offline installer from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

How do I install without having a CD drive?

Hi,
I bought CS6 a few months ago and installed it onto my main computer via the CD drive.
I would now like to install it onto my laptop (macbook pro) but that doesn't have a CD drive. How do I go about this.
Can I download it from here and use my serial number? It is licenced for 2 computers.
Thanks in advance

Dock icon update current date without having iCal running?

Hello, minor thing - I typically leave my computer on all the time. I don't use iCal too often but I have the icon in the dock. I am wondering if there is a way to have the dock icon update without launching iCal? It would be nice that the current date is displayed when I view the dock. I guess I could schedule iCal to be launched and then quit once a day. I don't know, any suggestions?

I have a few suggestions.
1) This is a free alternative: http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html
2) Search MacOSXhints for a way to change the dock date daily. I read a hint there a few months ago for doing this: http://www.macosxhints.com/
3) Wait for the next iCal as I would be surprised if Apple doesn't build this in to iCal 3 given how many times folks ask this question.
4) You'll like suggestion #1.

Is there a way to open powerpc installer in Mavericks to just install library files (not run power pc app)?

Hello, I was looking to install some files from a power pc program. However, I have osx x mavericks. I know the deal, since snow leopard apple swicthed to intel processors. I was wondering since I only need to install files and not install and run a powerpc app ,is there any way I can get the installer open to grab these files that I need? I just need the files, not to run the program, there has to be a way around this without having to run a program like paralells or to run a dual boot with leopard on another drive?
I'm trying to run a music plug in instrument program in Logic and I have everything installed except for the actual sound libraries wich need to be installed off this power pc installer. I went to the companies website and downloaded and installed all of the latest updates. I then ran a report which is telling me that I just need to install the missing library files (on the powere pc installation). Which I find confusing since I thought the whole point of the update i nstall was a way around that? Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

In my experience advising Logic users, depending upon the version of Logic and the model Mac you are using, if your Mac will boot from Snow Leopard, you can install Logic and all of its plug-ins in Snow Leopard and then upgrade to Mavericks.

Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

Hello,
I can not update the iphone firmware using iTunes.
Messagte displayed
"There was a problem downloading the software fo the iPhone. The network connection timed out.
Also seen stopped error -3259
I have run network connectivity tests from iTunes and All Tests passed.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Joan

Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
I hope this helps!
Regards.

Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro?

My safari unexpectedly quits when attempting to log into my company's VPN.
- I log into our VPN website and the connection begins to initialize
- with my MacBook, Safari (2.0.3) unexpectedly quits
- with my PowerBook, 'Network Connect' automatically starts and the VPN connection completes without any problem
Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro? Any ideas?

Resolved. MacBook Pro was having trouble dowloading the 'Network Connect' application when I logged into my VPN client for the first time. I copied it from my PowerBook G4 over to the appropriate folder and it now works perfectly.

Bridged network connected to wrong eth

Hi all,
I have an Oracle VM server and Oracle VM Manager with network connectivity but am having trouble getting network connectivity for the guest virtual machines.
On my Oracle VM Server, I have networking going through eth0 - the VM server created a bonded interface bond0 that connects to the active eth0. When I created a virtual machine network in the Oracle VM Manager, I was only given the option of choosing ports eth1, eth3 and eth4 in the "Select Ports to include in your network" so I picked eth1. This resulted in created a bridged network that uses port eth1. The problem is that I currently do not have internet connectivity on port eth1.
The question I have is:
1) Do I need to have at a minimum of 2 NICs on the Oracle VM Server? One for the server management and the other for virtual machines?
2) Why does eth0 not show up as an option when selecting ports for the VM network?
Appreciate any insight on this!!!
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
To design your network architecture, dont forget to take care about:
- Fault tolerance
- Performance
- Security/Isolation
With Oracle VM Manager you can work with a minimum 1 NIC (all networks on the same interface) but this's not secure.
- if you have two NICs, you can create a network (Virtual Machine) and the second NIC to the other Network (more secure). and if you have a VLAN switch you can add the second NIC to the bond0, and create 5 logical networks (more secure & fault tolerance).
I hope this can help you
Best Regards
