Tinkering

Getting my new Macbook to see my main Linux box turned out to be  rather complicated.
I followed this guide to begin with.  I just had to change a few names for a Mandriva system:
- /etc/init.d/atalk is the rc.d script
- the config files were in /etc/netatalk

This provided instructions on using howl, but that has been deprecated in favour of the avahi that is installed with Mandriva.  The rest of the instructions I used were these.
