OS X El Capitan trackpad 3-finger drag

Having just reinstalled OS X EL Capitan from fresh on a new SSD, I looked around for a while for the trackpad 3-finger drag. For whatever reason it’s no longer in the Trackpad settings, but it’s in Accessibility. Details here.

Creating an OS X El Capitan install flash drive

Format the USB Flash Drive using Disk Utils:

The volume name in the next step is /Volumes/name-you-gave-the-volume-in-the-first-step.

Copy install files to the Flash Drive using createinstallmedia:

To boot from the flash drive, reboot your Mac holding down the Option key and the choose the icon for the flash drive.

Weblogic Portal 10.3.6 generic installer on Mac OS X – Insufficient Disk Space error

Trying to use the portal103_generic.jar installer on Mac OS X 10.11.1 gives this error even though you have plenty of free space:

A quick Google turns up this question and answer. Quick fix, run passing this option: -Dos.name=unix, so:

java -Dos.name=unix -jar portal103_generic.jar

Although others reported this avoided the issue, I then got this issue instead:

Exception in thread "chmodFile" java.lang.Error: Unix is not a supported OS platform.
 at java.lang.UNIXProcess$Platform.get(UNIXProcess.java:164)

Following additional suggestion here, using -Dspace.detection=false instead avoided the issue.
