Setup notes for qm-pmac01 (talos test box)

Syck 0.55 is installed on pmac01 for Talos. Should be installed on the other machines. Installed the main binary and the python extension:

• cd ext/python/
• python setup.py build
• sudo python setup.py install

pmac01 also has xcode and ports installed from the reference machine. Sharedmenuframeworks is not installed. Screensaver disabled.

For Talos to work on mac, the Subprocess module must be installed. Download subprocess.py from [1] and copy into /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/. Be sure to save the file as 'subprocess.py' with a lowercase 's'.
