Although a standard Windows XP Professional OS cannot read (= mount) Macintosh-formatted CDs (neither hfs nor hfs+), the burning program Nero Express can duplicate such CDs!
I am missing from Suse Linux 9 a nice GUI that collects ALL system services with the options "start", "stop" and "start on every system boot". RedHat 9 has something like that. There is Yast2, but under the services, netatalk is not even listed. To boot netatalk during system boot, I just create manually a link: cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d sudo ln -s ../atalk S22atalk After rebooting (and to my surprise) my computer froze. No Ctrl-Alt-F2, no access via ssh; the only rescue being the physical reboot button button (something I am only used to from my Macintosh times).
I was fighting for several days to delete a file in Windows XP that started with dot underscore (._). The message was always: "The system cannot find the path specified". Nothing worked. No safe mode, no command line, no special syntax. The Microsoft Knowledge Base addresses the problem, but instead of pointing to an easy solution it gives lots of useless and even wrong information, e.g the Windows XP Resource Kit didn't contain the RM.EXE program, that was supposed to be able to delete those files with "weird" file names.
