I made a real big mistake, and I'm somewhat annoyed with myself now. I was cleaning up a script in /etc/init.d/ that configures my IPv6 tunnel. I'd perfected it and was ready to get rid of the backups I made (ipv6-backup and so forth), so I typed in "rm ipv6-" and hit tab, expecting it to autocomplete. I then quickly hit asterisk and enter.
Oops! There was only one file! So instead of doing "rm ipv6-backup*" which wouldn't have been so bad, I instructed the computer to do "rm ipv6-backup *" (Note the space). Now I'm in the middle of remerging all the apps which (I think) added init scripts to /etc/init.d. I'm hoping there's an easier and faster way to recover these scripts. (Yes, I've got baselayout, that's the essential system ones.. I'm talking about stuff like apache, fam-oss, portmap and so forth) I'm not looking forward to sitting through another XFree86 compile, so is there some way for me to grab these scripts? Recover them or emerge ONLY them? Thanks in advance; I'll be in your debt. Paul Fraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
