Hi there!
How could I make visible folders like var, usr, net, dev, etc...?
I remember to sometimes having them visible but not in my present installation... Don't know why...
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Gerard

In the terminal, write:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
and then restart the Finder with
killall Finder

Thanks for your reply!
BUT...
Sorry, this doesn't work.
I still can't see the folders...

TinkerTool (freeware, TinkerTool: Description) has an option, in the Finder tab, to "Show hidden and system files".
Perhaps that will help.

Thanks! It works.
I have TinkerTool but I didn't noticed the option...
Have a very nice day!

While that command worked fine in Tiger, Leopard can be a bit fussier about this.
When writing, it helps to expressly include "-bool" (regardless of TRUE, YES or 1):
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE
