How to install Livestreamer — super n00b terminal question

You did not specify which inbox you checked, but if you use mail <your mac userid>, you can then read that mail by running the mail command without any arguments. I am not sure how useful this might be, but it does work.

man mail from a shell prompt will give you more background info into the mail command.

If you are looking to send email to an external (SMTP) mail server from a shell prompt (like the one in the Terminal window), you will need to use a message transfer agent or MTA. This is something far more useful, although it requires much more setup overhead.

Alternatively, you might be able to use Applescript and/or Automator to automate sending messages through Mail.app through a previously configured email account.

Turn the machine off. Turn it on again, and hold down the trackpad button. The disc should eject.

Restart and hold down the mouse or trackpad button until the disc ejects.

(The other suggestions don't apply; you're not in MacOSX yet, you don't have an eject hole, and you have an Intel machine so the firmware thing won't work.)
