So the fact that you may not have /sbin in your > path need not reflect on the slides. i am not talking about the shell here - i am talking about 'fuser'. the fastest way to get it working, is by specifying it should be invoked as /sbin/fuser/. your debian system is of no concern to me, because this lecture is not meant for debian users :P~~ > 26: > Nobody would know what mmap is.

Or switch slides all the time. then i will need to simply avoid the rotation... besides, i have other means of demonstrating this - i will show the example without too much explanation. then go to the legend slide and talk about each 'entry' in _short_. then go back to the output window, highlight each entry in turn, and re-explain what it is about. > 37 > When set fora File, it means that the File should be copied into the > swap device, rather then loaded from its original location.

Linux killed the rest of the Unix world for most of us. after years of using 'Unix/Linux', i decided to drop Unix, and stay with Linux. especially when this is not a lecture for purists. > giving a program the impression ... > > should be with capital G ok. > > Amaze your friends or bewilder them. > > should be "Amazing your friends or bewildering them" to support parallel > structure (mivne makbili). ok. > 42 > > I suggest directing to slides of lecture 7 (by you) > http://www.haifux.org/lectures/7/ hwich is about intro to sockets. hmmm... which slide is slide 42? why don't use use the titles instead? are you refering to the last slide, 'what we did not cover today?'? if so, the sockets lecture has got nothing to do with this - it relates to BSD sockets, where as this slide talks about Unix-domain sockets. > I feel we should be covering grep and | (pipe), and the whole idea of "the > Linux way" of building things from small units which do their job well. > When I come to think of it, it is not the Linux way, but rather the hurd > way, or the GNU way. Linux is actually monolithyc. :) a lecture about the shell could be used to cover these topics. do you want to prepare one and give it during this 'staying in linux' series? you're welcome to do that. > These are very good slides, in my opinion.
