* Russell Coker | My lilo configuration scripts need to be able to infer the correct location | for the MBR. I am currently using the following algorithm: | take root fs device from /etc/fstab and do the following: | s/[0-9]*// | s/part$/disc/
What is the use of the first s/? Unless your first letter is a digit, it will just remove the zero-width string '' between the first / and the beginning of the string. A better solution will probably be to s/[0-9]$// which will remove 5 from /dev/hda5. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
