Hi. very good job. Congratulations. I ran the contrast control in my iMac and worked just fine. The only problem is that couldn't ajust the contrast and colors anymore. Do yu have an idea of how I'll fix that?
Thank you anyway

The DarwinPorts project was renamed to MacPorts in 2007, and the web site you linked to is an impostor/phishing web site that is not and has never been associated with the project. Your blog's spam prevention system is preventing me from providing the correct URL, but you can find it by Googling "MacPorts".

I had to delete my old macports and fink paths out of $PATH:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
I also kept a backup of my old $PATH because i still use it:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin:/sw2/bin:/sw2/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

Thank you for that instruction!

Dugald: Apple Mail sucks...

nospam@example.com (Dugald) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:19:41 +0200

I agree. Mail might be a little limited, but its integration with other Mac apps is by far the best. The alternative I have considered is going totally Google - GMail, calendar, etc.

MacPorts, formerly called DarwinPorts,[1] is a package management system that simplifies the installation of software on the Mac OS X and Darwin operating systems. It is a free/open source software project to simplify installation of other free/open source software. Similar in aim and function to Fink and the BSDs' ports collections, DarwinPorts was started in 2002 as part of the OpenDarwin project, with the involvement of a number of Apple Inc. employees including Landon Fuller, Kevin Van Vechten, and Jordan Hubbard.

It allows the installation of a number of packages by simply entering the command port install packagename in the Terminal, which will then download, compile and install the requested software, while also installing any required dependencies automatically.

During ccnp practice exams, a question related to the topic is also found.
On April 28, 2005, the project released version 1.0 of their software.[2] In December 2005, the project reached a milestone, passing 3000 ports.[3] As of September 2009, MacPorts version 1.8.0 contains more than 6000 ports.

MacPorts is currently hosted on Mac OS Forge, an open source hosting service created and maintained by Apple Inc.

Appears to require Quicktime Pro to get the save-as function.
