What I usually do to verify my copy is
"du" the original and the copy filesystem.
If you want to check every single file it
might be a good idea to write the two dumps
into two temporary files and "diff" these.

ls may be an alias using default comand line switches, but /bin/ls is a
required POSIX binary. As long as /bin is in PATH and plain ls behavior
is assumed, ls may be used without its full pathname.

If the standard linux utilities are present, simplify:
#!/bin/sh
ls -Al | grep '^d' | wc -l
which also avoids nastiness if the listing of all subdirectories would
exceed the shell's maximum line length.

I don't know if it's what you want; I use a good ol' fetchmail/pine/sendmail
combination. It supports all but the HTML part. For that you may well need a
browser. I set up an HTML mail retriever for my sister's HTML mail account
with a USEFUL program called curl, but all HTML mail servers differ much.
There is a hotmail retriever called hotmole, and another more up-to-date
beta version of a similar idea called opera (not to be confused with the
browser.)

At the top of all scripts you need to specify the shell that the script will be run in:
#!/bin/bash
or whatever shell you use.

Subject: LILO-Problem after adding a HD
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2000 11:59:34 +0100
Hey guys,
I have a running dual-boot box. Windoze 98 on hda1, hda2 and hdb for
some Linux-"folders". SuSe Linux 7.0 is on sda1.
My CD-Rom is the hdd.
Now I would like a Samsung 6 GB drive to the system. (Secondary Master).
But whenever I try to connect it into the system LILO fails to start
("LI"). When I unplug the drive everything work fine.
/etc/fstab doesn�t contain the hdd (but that shouldn�t matter for LILO
(?))
I tried to reinstall LILO to solve the problem, I changed the HD�s but
to no avail.
I would be glad if someone could point me into the right direction.
(The SuSE-manual and the manualpages didn�t help me much)
If you need more specific information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Stefan

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's your problem. This controller is not suppoted by the standard
kernels. You'll have to switch over to the standard IDE controller
(ATA66) on the ASUS motherboard. Then the setup process will also
be able to identify your CDROM.
After having successfully installed Linux, you may be able to
find a patch or a more recent kernel version that directly
supports the Promise ATA100 card. Install that one, and then
reconnect the IDE drive to the ATA100 interface. Win* won't care,
as the partition numbering scheme does not reflect physical
connections. However, you'll have to boot Linux from the CDROM
after that, and to manually mount the root partition. Then edit
the file /etc/fstab to reflect the new location of your IDE drive
(as Linux counts drives by their physical connection: hda, hdb, etc..).
During startup, Linux will tell you what drives it found - just
change the drive letter in /etc/fstab approriately.

It is probably a _good_ idea to put it there, but it is _not_
a requirement.
However, to run a script using other than the command line shell,
either that mechanism is in place or the shell must be specified
on the command line:
sh -c script
for example, unless of course the command line shell is the
desired shell (which is usually the case with bash, as was true
in the above instance).

Thanks. What is the principle behind this timeout for ISDN lines? To save
money in phone line costs or does it pertain to some technicality?

There are ways to recover a partition table. I am not familiar with
them, but others will surely either tell you or refer you to
documentation on how to do it.
Another alternative would be to just get it off your backup media.

Subject: About Starting ONE kernel from WITHIN another?
Date: 11 Dec 2000 12:01:28 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In DOS, there is a program LOADLIN.EXE, which allows me to start
an arbitrary version of linux from within DOS.
What I want is to be able to start (switch to) another version
of kernel from within linux itself. I do not mean just switching
a kernel at runtime with all apps still running, I understand
that it is impossible. I would like to just kind of boot to another
server.
The reason for it is that I have a remote colocated server on which I
would like to try various kernels. But I want it to boot to a stable
version of linux. So I cannot just go around and modify lilo.conf all
the time.
Any idea?
