After 36 hours, I'm ready to change from 'Training' mode to 'Automatic' in the new OSX (Jaguar) mail program. Apple is making things real people want. 4:07:44 PM    Discuss

Eureka! My Unix skills pulled me through my drive mounting woes on OS X using afp. Something is definitely wrong with my install, since Ii can't use the Finder to connect to a remote server (or iDisk). Additionally I cannot cd into /Volumes as my mac tells me 'Host is down'. So I did it the old fashioned way: First become root by typing sudo su Then I created a directory to mount from: mkdir /idisk Now the mount command, which should look like this: mount_afp -i afp://username@idisk.mac.com/sharename/ /idisk/ (your username and idisk sharename are identical) The -i flag will prompt you for your password. After a few seconds, your idisk drive appears on the desktop like magic! Now I'm trying to figure out how to mount a Firewire drive on a remote mac..... 1:18:12 PM    Discuss
