What things are you looking for that aren't where you expect them to be? And where did you expect them to be?

• shortlived 16y ago
  Those are great questions which I don't have exact answers for because I've spent the last year exclusively on Linux and all the exact OS X problems are flushed from my brain. I think I was working with Apache at the time, so I probably had trouble starting and stopping (looking in non-existent /etc/init.d). Also, just browsing '/', I remember stumbling upon /sw which is perhaps a darwin thing? Is it like /opt?

    /sw is somewhat like /opt, it's usually used by the package management system Fink. You shouldn't need to manipulate any of the files directly. http://www.finkproject.org/ http://www.finkproject.org/

      That would explain why I couldn't find it on my machine. I use macports, which puts its stuff in /opt.
