Hi there,

I have recently put my old pc back up, and installed ubuntu on it.

Now i want it to look like mac osx, and i have followed this tutorial...

http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php

I have moded it abit but encounterd a few problems i need help with.

1) I am trying to download these icons here, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=30859, and it wont let me. Also, when i have managed to download them, how do i install them on ubuntu?

2) On the top panel section in the tutorial, it says...

That's the ubuntu logo of the application menu. Download this icon (http://www.taimila.com/downloads/apple.png) to your home folder and give this command (in your home folder) to install it.

And then it has a line of code. How do i apply this code to the image?

3) Also, how can i connect ubuntu to my internet ethernet network?

:confused:

If you want the shiney effects of osx (or at least something similar) install graphics drivers and put beryl or compiz on.

To install a gnome theme open the themes manager and drag the theme onto it.

The download to your home directory and run this command probably means put it directly in your home directory (~) and then open a terminal and type the command.

I would have thouht that a wired lan would automatically be connected to. For example if you have a cable connecting it to a router that uses DHCP and is the internet gateway, usually just booting the machine with it plugged in will allow you to use the internet. If you mean you want to share files with windows machines on the lan, you will need samba or nfs.
