Does anyone know how to #get 3.0 to remember the dock contents? # Exactly this happened to me last night when I fired up a brand-new, out-of- the-box Turbostation. Turns out that, when I registered myself as a new user (under root, using the NewUser app), I clicked on the "create home directory?" panel. THEN I noticed that my uid was 100, not 21 (like I will eventually want it to be when that machine gets put on the net). So, I re-inscribed myself. On finding that I couldn't change preferences and have them stick, I eventually found that my home directory was owned by user 100 (an unknown entity). The solution was to go in as root and 'chown -R silbar /silbar'. Dick Silbar
