Csh isn't particularly suitable for writing scripts in. See "Csh

Thanks for the replies. I just logged on to delete my post. I plan to get a
PC
already installed with Linux when I can afford it and if necessary use the
resorces
at Dartmouth College - i.e. see if there's a computer science major who
wants
to make consulting fees to get me past the initial startups.
(Giving up computing altogether is an intersting option after 13 years as
well...)
My point was not that I am not unfamiliar with Linux. I have used unix
before and the
Amiga OS is very similar to unix as well in it's shell mode. My point was
that Redhat
bounced back my posts without explanation and that the installation and
setup for
Linux leaves a lot to be desired. (for example: I read the Loadlin how-to
and
halfway thru it says if you have Win 95 something 'b' than skip all this and
got ot
seciton <x>. In section <x> it has totally different instructions- then go
back to the
first part where you're left without any clue as to what to do next.).
Thanks again.

[... snipped hardware description]
I have a much older sun 3/60, no hard disk.
but it has a network card, so I hooked it up to my local network, and it
boots NetBSD via a Linux server (an old 486).
that's not very fast (not the network, but the machine itself - a 20mhz
68020 as far as I know), but the big 19" screen is nice :-)
I installed it "raw", the harder being to understand that I had to setup
rpc.bootparamd and a put a few files on my tftp server.
of course, I recommend the hard disk if you can, qnd linux is sure more
userfriendly thant netbsd when you don't know unix very well.

Subject: RH 6 command line editing
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 16:49:44 -0500
Hi, I am having a curious problem with RH6.0. I am used to the vi style of
command line editing and in previous RH releases, the old "set -o vi"
inserted into .bashrc or .bash_profile used to do the trick nicely. With
RH 6 however, this causes command line editing to quit working all
together. The strangest part is, that if you enter the "set -o vi" command
interactively at the command line, it works like a champ. Can anyone
please shed some light on this and tell me how to get this working? I use
many different UNIX machines, and they all use vi for command line editing
and I would like my machines at home to work the same way without having
to enter the command each time I log in.
Thanks for any enlightenment on this subject,

David,
At the office I use the restricted parameter with the password parameter
in /etc/lilo.conf. Read the man page on lilo.conf and the lilo readme file
in /usr/doc/lilo*. After you've edited /etc/lilo.conf then set ownership to
root and set permissions to 600. This effectively prevents users who do not
have access to root from reading the file. And if you want to be really
careful then disable the boot ability from the floppy drive - this could cause
more problems than it is worth however.
There is also a Linux Security HOWTO that has been put out recently. It is new
and still needs some work but I found it very usefull.

Boot into single-user mode without swap. Then format the swap partition
using mkswap /dev/...; don't make a mistake or you'll wipe out a
real partition. Then do swapon /dev/... . You should then
be able to add a line like
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
to your /etc/fstab to have it mounted on boot-up.

You need to run the script as if the interactive shell was executing the

source whatever, which forces the user interactive shell to execute the
commands. Then the environment variables will persist.

I leave as an exercise for you to check 'man tar' and figure out how
to exclude any mention of destdir in the left-hand side. Or, you could
boot from floppy and mount the drives as sourcedir & destdir.

Actually, Linux's Joliet support is part of the ISO-9660 filesystem
code. ISO-9660 can be compiled into the kernel or supplied as a module.
Joliet provides only "Y" or "N" options, not an "M" option, but if you
select "M" (module) for ISO-9660 and "Y" for Joliet, Joliet will be
compiled as a module -- as part of the isofs.o module for ISO-9660
support, to be precise.

Well cheaper if you are only backing up 640 megabytes uncompressed. Right now,
I'm backing up 13 gigabytes to my DAT drive every night. It would take the
better part of a day, having to plop in new CD's every so often (hey my time is
valuable, even if I'm just playing games). Backups that take a lot of effort
tend not to get done. With the DAT, I just change tapes in the morning after
the cron job does the dump during the night. Since I do full dumps, it doesn't
much matter if I miss a day when I'm not near the computer. Don't get me
wrong, I also have a CD-R and use it, but I don't think its that practical for
soho type dumps.

On each Unix system I have ever worked with (HP, IBM, SUN, Linux) there were
some processes which could not be killed.
If 'kill -9' does not kill the process, the only thing you can try is 'kill
-9 PID_PARENT_PROCESS'. This may help, if there is still a valid parent
process. But if your PPID is already the init-process (PID 1), the only
thing is to wait for the next reboot.
Sorry for that

Also, most modern day BIOS's offer the ability to prevent booting from a

cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig (assuming your in X)
make sure the proper drivers are chosen for compilation
make dep clean bzImage (all on one line)
make modules
make modules_install
make bzlilo (this saves having to cp stuff to/from directories and
installs your kernel)
****if you use zImage than use 'make zlilo'

For an quick, one-time solution, how about:
Split (man split) the big file into 3 or so smaller files that can be
edited.
Edit.
Cat the smaller files back into one.
