On Setting Up a New Mac (in this case a PowerBook)

This is something I really should make notes about. Perhaps in the form of commands and descriptions. This is not an exhaustive list; this is more like things that I don't always remember to do.

   cd ~/dev
   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od login
   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.opendarwin.org:/Volumes/src/cvs/od co -P darwinports

This gets the latest version of DarwinPorts from CVS.

   cd darwinports
   ./configure && make && sudo make install

This actually installs DarwinPorts. At the end there should be an /opt/local directory, with a bin and other directories.

   sudo port install subversion

Uses the just-installed /opt/local/bin/port command to get the most recent subversion version. ... hah

   sudo port install jove

jove is my preferred command-line editor. It's a light-weight Emacs clone.
