This information is available in /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.27.7/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt when the kernel-doc package installed in RHEL5, CentOS 5, or Fedora. This particular file is from the 2.6.27.7-53 kernel.
To force a MacBook Pro to boot a CD, hold down the C key while rebooting.
To view all the boot options available on a MacBook Pro, hold down the “option” key while rebooting.
This was on a MacBook Pro (Powerbook G4 – Early 2008 model) running Leopard.
I went through the bootcamp procedure, and chose to install Windows.
I carved out 50GB of the 200GB drive.
Installed Fedora 10 on that partition.
I installed the boot loader on the partition, NOT the MBR.
I found that it would always boot up Fedora at that point.
I thought that I had messed up the boot record at that point, so I tried to boot of the CD.
That was when I discovered the “Hold down C at boot to force boot off CD.”
I did a repair on my MacOSX partition. All checked out fine, as I had expected.
Then, I discovered the “Hold down the “option” key at boot to view all your boot options.
There they were “MacOSX” and “Windows”.
I am currently using this to boot the different operating systems.
I found this to be a good way to look at many files with the same name in different subdirectories in linux.
find . -name filename.txt -exec less {} \;
This works in VMware server 1.0.x for linux.
Check status (up or down):
vmware-cmd /pathtoyourvmxfile/vmxfile.vmx getstate
Start virtual server:
vmware-cmd /pathtoyourvmxfile/vmxfile.vmx start
Shutdown virtual server:
vmware-cmd /pathtoyourvmxfile/vmxfile.vmx stop
You need to make sure the user is logged out before doing this.

2) Go to HKEY_USERS
3) Load Hive # navigate to the ntuser.dat you want to load.
4) Make changes.
5) Unload Hive
I made this modification on an HP DL-360 with dual 1.3 GHz processors, 2GB of memory, and RAID 1 drive (two drives mirrored). It made a huge improvement accessing a directory with a lot of files. According to Microsoft (, ), the setting is increased in Windows 2003. I set in my NT 4.0 server to 16,644.

From a terminal session:
hdiutil mount filename
hdiutil attach dmgfilename
From what I can tell, this is similar to just double clicking on the filename from Finder.
The image file is then mounted at /Volumes/imagelabel.
