(Here<http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/AdvancedUnix/ugp2/index.ws>, for the record, is the source of *all* of my info about them.) You are asking *me*, I take it, whether it's OK to turn off the sticky bit?... Assuming so, well, yes, why not?... No one else will be using this other than I, so I don't see why not. Let me try that. OK, when I 'ls -ald' Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ -- Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacs returns "Not a directory" - I get: drwxr-xr-x 35 [user] admin 1190 Jun 7 06:26 . This is on my *installed* version. I.e., the sticky bit's not set. What am I missing?... Many tks, Matthew Oh, and for the record, USB drives seem to be formatted FAT32 by default - so that they can be used on both OSX and WinXP machines. I have not reformatted mine, so assume it's FAT32. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...Télécharger
