Hi Simón et al,
I set this as a new thread. I enjoyed reading your article "Refresh default
settings on reboot." I'm a student of the command line, so I have a
question.

In it you use the command:
find /home/student -maxdepth 1 -iname '.?*' -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
I'm okay with the first part out to '.?*' , but how does this differ from
'.*" ?
After that, I'm lost! Don't you pipe something here?

Scott

BTW, I also read your BLOG posting about SystemImager and hope my posted
comment about http://svn.sisuite.org/  might help.


Check out how I do it at:

I keep a definition of my image, sort of a HOWTO replicate our
implementation of Ubuntu at
http://www.north.mccsc.edu/indianaaccess/imagedefinition.html (not QUITE up
to date at the moment, and heavily under construction). I keep a blog of my
progress at http://indianalinux.blogspot.com

You might consider joining the ubuntu-education list as well as this one.

Again, it's no annoyance. If you have questions, we're here.

Take care!

Simon

        My solution is to set it up so that, during the boot process all
the student preferences are removed and a fresh copy is put in place.


I hope I'm not becoming annoying, but is there somewhere that describes
how to do this? I'm setting up a small lab in my classroom this week using
LTSP 6.10 (I'm installing the server today) and that would be beneficial I
think.

Thanks,
Scott
