This is an update for the post I sent in a week ago. It includes=20
step-by-step instructions for modifying the proper file. This was=20
written for OS X 10.2, but the steps could easily be applied to other=20
versions of the OS as well.
Yes you can load packages into the Newton using your own Mac OS X web=20
server. Just be sure to add the proper MIME type to the "mime.types"=20
file:
You can find this in:
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"/private/etc/httpd/mime.types"
Add the line:
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"application/x-newton-compatible-pkg pkg"
---------
Step-by-step instructions:
Open Terminal
Type "cd /private/etc/httpd/"
Type "sudo pico mime.types" (This means "Pretend I'm the god of this=20
machine and use the Pico text editor to open the file called=20
'mime.types'")
Type in your administrator password
Use the the down arrow to get the to proper place in the alphabetical=20
list of MIME types.
(On mine that's between
"application/x-netcdf nc cdf" and "application/x-sh sh")
At the start of the line, press return.
Press the up arrow to go up to your new blank line.
Type in: "application/x-newton-compatible-pkg pkg"
(make sure there is a space between "-pkg pkg")
Press Control-O
Press Return
Press Contol-X
Quit the Terminal application
