Grep will tell the filenames if there is more than one file.
If you just want to know the filename and not the actual
lines use grep -l "Hello World".

don't think it supports wildcards, but you can certainly do:
rpm -qa | grep kde

forget FAT32, you can even use NTFS. However a good idea would also be
to use explore2fs which allows windoze users to look through ext2

My thoughts exactly. Depending on what one has running at the time, you
might wind up with some really unpredicatable behavior if you clear
everything out. The best solution is to run 'tmpwatch' occasionally
since it was designed specifically for this.

Following some tutorials at LinuxWorld I installed CUPS and it
ran fine on my RH 7 box. I reverted to LPRng however, because I
have a Windows box on the network which uses the lpr client ACITS
lpr for printing to the Linux box. This works with LPRng but I
couldn't get it to do so with CUPS.

it did work for me, though. i installed just about everything,
because i had the disk space to spare, and i didn't feel like
answering questions. can't remember if that's the default. this is
just a data point for you, though, because i don't really what's going

Well, here in New Jersey, JCP&L wait until I am near the end of a
6-hour job before dropping the power. The only solution I have found
is to run this machine from an APC Smart-UPS 1000 U.P.S. that has
enough power to run this machine for 1/2 hour and then do a controlled
shutdown. It then automatically reboots 180 seconds after the power
has come back up or charged the UPS to 50% of capacity, whichever is
longer. My other machine is similar, but it waits only 60 seconds. I
do that so they do not all turn on at the same time, or the same time
the refrigerator comes back on.
I do not insist that everyone run on APC UPSs, but everyone should run
on someone's UPS unless you like doing manual fsck a lot.

I did that for a while. The first time the Microsoft BSOD came up, I
reached for the panic button but fortunately restrained myself. Now I
run the W-95 so seldom, and for so short a time (usually less than 30
minutes per week) that I do not get many crashes anymore.

I was running Linux Slackware 3.6 on a 386/25 with 8MB memory and
340MB disk. Had to carefully select packages to load, but it ran
fine as network appliance and even as development machine with
compilers and editors. But you can get a nice pentium/k6 machine
with 64MB memory and 10GB disk for under $400 (see www.storeanywhere.com
for example). I'd recommend something like that if you're not
exceptionally pressed for cash.

You did not tell your distribution.
Pretty often there is a statically linked shell in the system. Try booting
with
linux init=/bin/bash
If it succeeds you are in as root. fsck the root drive, mount it read-write
and reload the C runtime (libc.so.5) from the installation media.

When you enter in the command and press ENTER, it looks like it
executes but then goes to another prompt.
As well, no new file gets constructed.

Thank you. I'll try this first, and if it doesn't work I'll do whatever
KN6LL says.
I'm really not too worried about it, because if it doesn't work I'll be
getting some more memory in about a week anyway, and I'll be able to use a
real distribution and I can use ext2 or ReiserFS--no more of this UMSDOS
crap. Right now, I've only got 3.5 megs of RAM on it, and it's kinda
difficult to boot from a boot disk in that :)
