Open and Closed Powerbook Questions

So the new powerbook is working out great. Its cute, its fast, its quiet and, best of all, it has a glowing apple on the back of the screen! I love the change, its refreshing and having one mouse button hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Here's what I can't figure out...

  1. How do I tab between buttons and drop-down lists in Safari? I will switch back to explorer for os X if I can't figure this out. Though safari and explorer look just the same to me so it doesn't matter.
  2. How do I install my printer? The printer has an IP address and speaks HP LaserDirect (or whatever its called).
  3. What's a good RSS aggregator for mac OS?
  4. can I export my iCal RSF feed in a meaningful way to an MT blog? [yes, see Phil's comment below]
  5. I need emacs and latex. [on the way. See entry on installing fink]
  6. And I am going to need a postscript viewer? the ps to pdf is good, but slow. [Yes, and you have one now]
  7. how do I set up ssh with authorized keys? [run ssh-keygen, as expected]
  8. How do I tab between windows? [either use -arrows or -numbers]
