[SOLVED] Old-school installation method?

Hi all,
Sorry if I am missing this, but I seem to remember before the AIF days, the installation method was to use pacman to install the base after setting up the partitions manually etc. Is this method documented somewhere? I can find small nuggets of info in the forums but nothing 100% concrete.
Thanks

Maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux will be of interest to you?
I haven't installed Arch for ages, but can't you create the partition/the filesystem in one of the virtual consoles and then use it in the installer?

New to JAVA, but old school to programming

Objects & Classes & Methods, Oh my!
I'm pretty new to java, but I've been programming in several languages over the years. I thought it was about time to update my skill set, especially with the job market as it is today. I wanted to go JAVA because it's not specific to any environment.
I picked up a begining JAVA book and was a little confused. When I was learning programming a program was called a program. a peice of code in a program called by a statement was called a subroutine (it was performed then control returned to the calling line and continued).
Now I'm trying to make sense of everything I have read so far and trying to relate it back to my old school of thinking. I was hoping it would make it easier to retain and I could expand it as I learn and possibly realize that it IS different. I know it's a new way of thinking, but stay with me for minute.
What I used to call a program is now a CLASS in JAVA (this can be a collection of code or other objects). A sub-routine in a CLASS is a Method. I know that the language part will come as I use it since I understand if's then's and whatever you use to gosub or goto, but I want to make sure I have down the lingo before I go to deep.

I have no idea how you can compare Java to Cobol.
DataFlex? How about that! In about '84 I switched to
DataFlex from dBaseII. In '91 DataFlex changed from
procedural to OOP. It took most of us at least a year
to adjust, and then some to write concrete code. It
was tough. They had bugs and we were limited with DOS.
BUT, it was a great OOP training experience. Anyhow,
needless to day Java is miles ahead on all fronts.Small world. I was stuck in the old DataFlex Ver 2.3 at that time. The company I worked for had the newer OOP package. I did get to work with it some, but not enough to become totally familiar with it. We started to move out of DataFlex towards PowerBuilder towards the end of 1995. I did get some OOP from that experience, but again only enough to learn about global variables, instance variables, and a few other items. I hoping that I will be able to get the solid OOP background that I need from JAVA since I hear through the grapevine that it may be a new tool that we will be looking at to enhance our programming. I was looking at PERL but even the PERL programmers we have agree that JAVA is more scalable.

HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Where can I get an old-school style keyboard (one that CLICKS)

I cannot stand the soft keyboard that came with my Mac Pro and I want to go old school and get a keyboard that gives a loud CLICK every time you press a key, one that you actually feel when the key is depressed. Any suggestions?

rwiker wrote:
Somebody else suggested a NOS/refurbished IBM Model M from clickykeyboard.com. These would have to be used with and USB/PS2 adapter, which is actually a bit problematic, as you may have a bit of trouble getting one that works well. A bigger problem is that those keyboards do not have a key that is recognized as Apple/Command, which means that they are, in fact, useless for a Mac Pro
Instead, you could go to Unicomp (http://www.pckeyboard.com), who manufacture new keyboards based on the Model M mechanism. You should select a version with Windows keys and USB interface - I have 4 Customizer 105 keyboards which I'm completely happy with. Well, apart from the Windows symbols on two of the keys... I'd much prefer to have Apple or Clover symbols.
Then, once you have the keyboard, you need to get a keyboard mapping for it, unless you want to place stickers conforming to the Apple layout on top of some of the keys If you want to create a new keyboard mapping yourself, you should look for a program named "Ukelele" (http://www.sil.org/computIng/catalog/show_software.asp?id=94).
I really appreciate your help. Is it really that complicated just to get a keyboard that clicks? I am not a computer person. I went to that Ukelele site and I have no idea what keyboard mapping is nor how to do it.
As for Tony0074, the one I have is white in the clear casing that ships with new Mac Pros.

Problem with Premiere Pro and Old School X3100

Hi everyone,
Got a problem here and really looking for help . I know the intel 965 or X3100 chipset/GPU (in a Dell inspiron 1720 running Win 7 64 bit) is way old school, but as we're waiting for a couple of i7/i5 laptop upgrades, this is what I have to resort to for some minor mobile SD editing (nothing extreme but 15-30s short commercials). With the current Intel driver (8.15.10.1930), the preview monitors (source and sequence) do not work. They're simply a blank frame (even after I render the sequence). It seems to be the Intel drivers whooping my butt as there is no problems with the standard W7 WDDM 1.1 display driver, except the computer isn't stable with freezes on wake (and no OpenGL support in PS... which isn't a big deal). I've also tried Vista 64 drivers in compatibility mode with no luck.
The rest of the CS4 suite works great. It is not the trial version and I've tried PP 4.0, 4.01, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1 (suggested by another post), and reinstallation. I've also tried changing settings in the Intel drivers and... even modded 965 drivers.
I know the X3100 is quite common (maybe not among PP users...) so any experience you might have would be awesome. Maybe an older Intel driver? If you can help me, I'll name my laptop after you! ...unless you realize that could actually be an insult Thanks!

This hardware sub-forum is a good place to read about what will run CS5
While HD editing (which I won't do) will require a RAID for data, what I am going to build for SD editing with CS5 and Win7 64bit is listed near the top of my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM

How do i solve the silverlight installation problems

How do I solve the Sliverlight installation issues on my new Macbook pro?

What exactly is the installation issue?
Uninstall Silverlight: https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/removing-silverligh t-mac.aspx
Reinstall Silverlight: https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
Sometimes you may need to repair permissions and users permissions on the machine.
See #6 and #11 here
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If your having trouble with the installation process, it's sort of the same procedure to install Flash
How to install/uninstall Flash, fix problems
Installing software from the web is a bit more difficult than from AppStore.
Microsoft Silverlight should be approved through Gatekeeper, so having to control or right click on the installer to select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper shouldn't be required.
If this is occuring, like it's saying this app can't be installed as it's not from MacAppStore or a Apple Identified Developer, then it's likely not the real Silverlight but a trojan malware.
Please use the links I've provided to install Silverlight as they are direct to Microsoft.

Upgrading DS 5.2 - when compressed archive installation method was used

I've tried upgrading Directory Server with patch 2 (Patch-ID# 115614-10), but the patchadd command fails with this error:
One or more patch packages included in
115614-10 are not installed on this system.
Originally, I installed DS 5.2 using the compressed archive installation method. Does this prevent patching the DS software? Or is there another patch available for this type of installation?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

I have the same problem. The patch is not applicable to compressed archive installation. By the way, would be possible to simply overwrite those files from the patch archive 115614-10? Any other dependency I have to take care.

New/Old School Party Mix

This playlist is a cross generational musical journey that young & old can enjoy. It include new school, with a old school twist. It's a party for all ages. Everybody say, "Watch Me".Playlist

Sounds like it's an iMac 233 with a tray cd drive. The flashing ? means it's have problems finding a system to boot from which could be software or hardware related. Macs won't boot from usb drives. You may need to swap out the cd drive. Having done it on a 233 I can tell you it's easy.

I can hardly believe my old school Palm Pre was much friendlier than the IPhone. I have had it for more than six months and still cannot sync my Outlook calendars and contacts. I get a message like, "no calendar application identified." help!

My old school palm pre was much friendlier than the IPHONE 3G. I was able to sync my outlook calendars and contacts via wi-fi effortlessly. I tunes did sync once or twice in the six months that I have had it, but more often it acts like it is syncing and ultimately delivers a message like "no calendar application is supported". Why the back and forth. Very frustrating after literally hours of trying to sync my phone with my Outlook calendar and contacts. HELP!!!!

What version of MS Office do you have installed? Have you tried re-installing office over top of itself? It may not be properly registered with the OS.

Server behaviours are old school!

"Server behaviours are old school!" was a comment made to me earlier today which has been playing on my mind!
Am I doing things the old way now? Since Adobe has removed the database panels, perhaps I am! I often see Adobe doing things that I consider to be commercial suicide, but it often turns out to be a move that is well thought out because the industry is moving in the direction applicable to an Adobe decision... or perhaps Adobe making the decision has forced the industry to move with them...
Should I be doing things differently to future proof myself? If so, how?
Mat

This is an ignorant answer. Server behaviors are not a code style, they are (used to be?) a DW mechanism to write repetitive code faster. The code Server behaviors output today is "old school", Server behaviors are a brilliant DW feature and so many DW users do not understand Adobe's decision to dump them instead of updating them...

Need old-school iCal alerts back in 10.8

Help! I need the old-school, movable, multi-option snoozable alerts back for my Calendar events. I need to be able to choose how long the snooze interval is like we used to be able to do with iCal alerts - I would sometimes use the smaller increments, but I used the 2 hour snooze all the time and I'm missing it dearly. Also, I miss being able to move the alert off to the side out of the way if I wanted to keep it on screen instead of dismissing it.
I use Calendar to alert me when it's time for everything from my son's homework, to when to start cooking dinner, to giving my daughter her various meds, and I need more flexibiltiy than Notification Center seems to give.
With Notification Center, I can't control how long the snooze is, and the default is almost always way too brief an interval. And if I just want to set it aside without closing or snoozing, I can't - it hovers in just about the worst possible spot on my main monitor blocking whatever I happen to be working on.
This is my only problem with Mountain Lion, but I use Calendar so much it's a pretty bad one.

I followed the instructions in the link. point 5 sates:
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
and I have not. but this is all I see:
no iLife option.
what could be wrong? My machine came with 10.8.4 installed

I am looking to update to a new imac with intel core processor. I am still old school with a powerbook G4. I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer. Thanks.

Thanks for any advice!!!

Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home. Is there a connector that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home via connection to multiple embedded speakers. Is there a connector/piece of hardware that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

A crude but effective way would ,assuming the Sony has an AUX in ,
is a stereo bluetooth receiver
plugs into aux and recives music over B/T from
the iPhone etc ,as used by many in vehicle
For instance as an example
