The square brackets are a synonym for the "test" command.
Enter "man test" without the quotes to get info on it.

"-n s1 True if the length of the string s1 is non-zero."
So it's testing whether the environment variable $BASH.ENV contains
a string of non-zero length.

I used to run SuSE on my pc, but I've recently changed over to debian.
Now in SuSE the shell (CLI) supported color, for instance when doing an
ls of a directory, regular files, executable files and directories would
all get
another color. The standard shell settings in debian don't do this. How

Yes. You can put any filesystem you like on the CD. But other
operating systems than Linux won't be able to deal with this CD. Here
goes the recipe:
� Create an empty file of 650MB size.
dd if=/dev/zero of="empty_file" bs=1024k count=650
� Create an extended-2 filesystem on this file
shell> /sbin/mke2fs -b 2048 empty_file
empty_file is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
� Mount this empty file through the loopback devices (you need a
reasonable new mount for this; read above).
mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop1 empty_file /mnt
� Copy files to /mnt and umount it afterwards.
� Use cdrecord on empty_file (which is no longer empty) as if it were
an ISO-9660-image.
If you want to make an entry in /etc/fstab for such a CD, then disable
the checking of the device file on system startup. For example:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom ext2 defaults,ro 0 0
The first 0 means "don't include in dumps", the second (=important)
one means "don't check for errors on startup" (fsck will fail to check
the CD for errors).

If so then you have to allow root to display to the user's display.

I have read, more than once, that generally the X Window System

Hi, sorry to post this but i would appreciate if anyone got any idea how
to resolve this.
I found out that my PC ( Abit BP6 with Gentus Linux (similar to RH6.1) )
uses irq 11 for both mass storage controllers and the Network
Controller. I believe that there might be a conflict. My network card is
using the RTL8139A chipset and i believe this is supported.
Does anyone know how to resolve conflicting irq? The funniest thing is
that previously when i install RH6.1 on my Abit BP6 using the "linux
ide2=0x????,0x????" as the boot parameters, it worked! Using the
RTL8139A drivers, if i recall correctly. I switch to Gentus because i
got sick of lack of ATA66 support in RH6.1 and having to go through hell
to get RH6.1 installed.
Thank you.

This will really, really depend on what you're going to be doing and on what
hardware.
I have ~5 machines here being dumb X terminals from a central server. With
things like KDE and some xterms etc the bandwidth generally flickers around
the 100k/s region. Moving windows around and stuff can cause peaks but
generally everything is smooth (this is on 10MBit ethernet).
But some things will inevitably suck the life out of your setup; complicated
screensavers, animated GIFs in webbrowsers, doing graphics work in gimp etc,
even something as simple as bringing up a hidden kpanel sucks up a few
hundred kB/s and don't even think about playing mpegs this way. Some games
work ok, others with lots of animations don't, and it can also depend on the
bit depth on the host machine, it's best to stick to 16bit if you want
decent colours, otherwise X will have to shove 2x as much data across for
each graphic. A graphics card with plenty of VRAM will hel as it can cache
more things and thus reduce bandwidth usage.
For general everyday use it should be fine on 10MBit or better connections
with low latency for a number of machines but if you're going to be doing
major graphical stuff look to the alternative of nfs mounting data/programs
off the central server and running the applications locally to each machine.
Assuming your terminals have the grunt to handle running them.
Horses for courses. I would say experiment with both options and see which
gives the best overall performance.

The answer is install Samba. I don't now for certain if it was included
with your distro but it probably is. If not you can get all the info and
the binaries from www.samba.org
Samba loads the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol used by Windows on
your linux machine. You can even participate in a NT domain.
Hope this helps. :-)

depending on the shell your using put the alias ls='ls --color=auto' in
one of the initialisation files (~/.bashrc ~/.cshrc ~/.zshrc)
You use auto so that you have colour when the output is written to a
console, but no colour when piping the output to more or less or
whatever, as those utilities would not display the colours, but rather
the ANSI colour codes ie ESC[01,32text printed in greenESC[01,32
You can define the colours used for specific file types by setting the
LS_COLORS environment variable.
for my zsh shell (and bash) the syntax is:
export LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:
*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jpg=01;35'
csh/tcsh would use something like "setenv LS_COLORS 'no=00:fi=00..'"
Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color
init string consists of one or more of the following numeric codes:
Attribute codes:
00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed
Text color codes:
30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
Background color codes:
40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white
so *.gif were to be *.gif=05;33;42 all files with an extension .gif
would be displayed as blinking (05) yellow (33) text on a green
background (42). In practice yellow + green = orange though.

I tried to do some network device configuration using linuxconf

When I changed something with linuxconf and wanted to quit/commit the changes
linuxconf crashes with a null pointer exception and afterwards my fddi

Well, linuxconf told me something not being in sync, but so what?
It should be able to repair it if it claims a right for existence as

this is not quite true. you can put the scsi module on an initial
ramdisk (initrd). this is what most distributions do because
compiling every possible scsi driver into their kernel would be a bit
much.
however, i agree that it is a damned good recommendation. if you can
compile yourself a kernel, by all means build the scsi driver into it.
i still had a weird problem which i never did manage to figure out.
in this case i got *rotten* performance with a built-in aic7xxx yet
good performance with it as a modules (loaded from an initrd). it
went away when i switched to different brand of scsi card. (i don't
blame adaptec -- i am positive it was some redhat boot sequence
bogosity.)

First make sure that the command "ls --color" provides you with a color
listing. If so,
# cat >> /etc/profile
LS_OPTIONS='--color -N -T 0'
export LS_OPTIONS
^D
It's got nothing to do with the shell and everything to do with the
options that ls is called with. If ls --color doesn't do the right thing,
then Debian's ls is br0ken, but that shouldn't be the case... only Caldera
ships with a non-colorful ls AFAIK. HTH,
