I believe you can also disable Rootless by accessing Security Configuration from the Recovery Mode. If you are unhappy with command line switches. You can turn on/off System Integrity Protection as it's called.
Updated 6/13/15:
Note - Lets keep this focused on "The little things" and not features demoed at the keynote or listed on the El Capitan page http://www.apple.com/osx/elcapitan-preview/
Mac OS X El Capitan (Developer Preview 1, Build 15A179w):
- Mission Control
- Space previews are only show when mouse is moved to top of screen in Mission Control
- Background is no longer blurred
- Rootless is now in effect
- You can no longer modify System files with sudo
- To disable rootless security open terminal and enter
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0";osascript -e 'tell app "loginwindow" to «event aevtrrst»'
I don't think that's possible. What exactly are you trying to do? Always keep certain windows in split view? Are you checking the box "Reopen windows when I log in"?
I do have the box checked. I have already pin certain apps to open in windows, but would love them to open in split view too.
Wow - this is awesome. I hate it when a friend's hard drive is plugged into my Mac and I want to empty the trash to get rid of something on my computer - and it would also empty the trash on their hard drive, which may be something they don't want.
The Mac Trash has finally caught up with the Windows trash after like... 20 years?
You can also do Opt+Cmd+Delete to completely delete a file bypassing the trashcan deleting it immediately.
I like the hold option key to copy as pathname thing. Don't have to bring up Terminal to get a nice UNIX style path anymore.
There is. Plenty of it. But, all useful. That's the difference, I believe.
Looks like it's systemwide; it works with Safari reading list items, contacts, mail, notes, etc.
I don't believe it did; I just checked my old PowerBook running Tiger and the menu item blink behaviour is the same there as on my Retina MacBook Pro running El Capitan.
Agreed with the post above, there isn't any difference apparent to me. Even checked on my G3 Pismo running 10.3.9 Panther, just to verify
- Mail
- Deleting E-Mail is fixed.
Before 10.11: Focus jumped randomly up or down after a deleting.
With 10.11: If you press the arrow key down before you delete the focus will stay for the Mails on the same position. If you press the up arrow key (one time), each deletion will focus the mail above.
- Deleting E-Mail is fixed.
- Other Enhancements
- Save Dialog lost the ability to create new directories via right click. In exchange the save dialog can now rename files and folders via right click. The Button for a new directory is still there.
This makes a lot of sense: If a new folder was created before OS X 10.11 in the save dialog via right click a folder with ne name "new folder" appeared, which could only renamed in finder

Yeah, it looks like it can now even show events from Google calender. In 10.10 I never got it to work.
Any way I can fix the dock, making it a bit smoother when I point the mouse towards it? I have it hidden at the bottom, and when I move my mouse to use the dock, it just pops up quickly. I like when it use to slide up, then back down after a few seconds. Is there a way to go back to that?
I just noticed the ability to airplay from various sources. Let me say that made my day!
Oh, and Youtube (and presumably other HTML 5) videos now move to their own space when you full screen them.

I don't think it's supposed to act like that. Mine still does the sliding animation.
Maybe it was buggy because I had tried Cdock with the security feature still on. I disabled it, and now with Cdock, it's better.
