hey everyone just got my iBook today and I had some questions about it. I am running Panther.
1) I got this on eBay, and while OS X is a clean install the last user loaded it. Thus his name is on the Computer. While I have changed a lot there is one aspect that remains. When I look at my computer in the network area, it says "John-Doe-Computer" I want it to just say "Shrike". It's a minor peeve of mine, but all my computers on my network have the name Shrike in them, my Dell is called "Darkstar-Shrike", I want this one to be called
"Shrike" Basically, how do I erase the old user and make everything mine...without reinstalling...
2) I have a windows workgroup...even my Linux Server is on the workgroup...how do I add my computer to the workgroup? Also I can see Windows files, how do I access my iBook files on my Windows machine?
3) the old user shows up in Rendevouz in ichat...how do i fix that so its my name?
Thank you.
Mike
