and (how) can I reference previous outputs? I can name them beforehand but if I do it is lots more to type. Using screen or gdm to copy the value is not better either. ----- >>> 0xAFFE 45054 >>> previous * 2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

GNU Emacs Calculator is similar, but a bit larger (and much more powerful). But that does not mean orpie is powerless, it has arbitrary-precision integers and matrices as well (I am missing fractions in orpie, but can live without, since gcd is there; so I can do all fraction calculations "manually"). > Hm, i used grml 0.8.3 or something like that, and it worked out of the > box. I can rebuild it, if you really need it. You need not. In the particular case I solved it with BartPE and there will probably be lots of more grml releases before I need it again (using striped volumes on Windows is not very common). Okay, I hope to never need it again, (I would not mind never needing grml again either...) but you never know. ;) Michael _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
