I'm working on a TiBook... and Macuser or something had this article 
about a little app called FNSWITCH which switches the FKeys so that 
powerbook users can can use the fkeys for applications etc.

Sadly I installed the newer (Panther) version first accidentally. Now 
it will not let me install the older (10.2.8) version... I cannot seem 
to find the last of three installed components to delete in order to 
install the new one.

These instructions are included in the read me:

The software are installed in the following places:
/Library/PreferencePanes/fnSwitch.prefPane/
/Library/StartupItems/fnStartup/
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleADBKeyboard.kext/

Uninstall instructions.
I don't want to provide a script to uninstall fnSwitch. But it's simple 
by hand ( not tested and this is not a script !! ):
rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/fnSwitch.prefPane/
rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/fnStartup/

cd /System/Library/Extensions
touch .
mv AppleADBKeyboard.kext /Users/Shared/AppleADBKeyboard_fnSwtich.kext
cp -r /Users/Shared/AppleADBKeyboard<timestamp>.kext 
./AppleADBKeyboard.kext
or
cp -r /Users/Shared/AppleADBKeyboard.kext ./AppleADBKeyboard.kext

The problem is that the last item AppleADBKeyboard.kext is owned by 
root, cannot be trashed... etc

\
Anyone have any experience with this thing? OR know of another work 
around for reactivating FKEYS?
thanks
