Re: Tor and Privoxy on Mac OS X 10.4.11

No, I just want the Tor package for "experts" to actually start  
itself and Privoxy at startup and work. I had this installed before  
and it worked fine under 10.4.10, but since updating to 10.4.11, it  
doesn't work anymore. Even if I uninstall it and reinstall a fresh  
package, it still doesn't work, so I was forced to install the non- 
experts package with Vidalia, which I never wanted to use.

We need to figure out the problem with the startup scripts and why  
they don't work, even though they did startup automatically. I know  
this because I tried to startup manually and the OS said another  
instance was already running.
