After adding the line to lilo.conf did you run lilo again to update the

Mike,
I think you'd have to do that with a loop. Loops can be entered on the
command line
but you may be better off to write it into a script file.
But first, note that you can do the 'grep txt$' part as command args for
find,
like this:
find * -type f -a -name '*txt'
Now your script could look like this: (assume bash)
for f in $(find * -type f -a -name '*txt')
do
foobar $f > $f.foobar
done
Substitute the name of your file processing script for foobar, etc.
Note also that if your files are all named like 'filename.txt' then
you can replace the .txt part like this:
...
do
foobar $f > $(basename $f .txt).foobar
done
Hope that helps.

heres what I did:
1. Slice up your disk using FDISK into 3 partitions
2. Install W2000. Reboot and test.
3. Install BeOS from CD-ROM - it'll find the next free partition
- remember to install Bootman!
- create a bootable recovery floppy (NOT the rescue diskette)
using 'makebootfloppy'. Reboot and test.
4. Install RedSplat - finds free partition for Leenox.
- NB You must install the SERVER version of Redsplat to
have the choice of putting LILO int the Linux root.
- Don't put LILO in the MBR
5. Boot BeOS - it'll find ALL the partitions (even linux tmp and swap). Just
select the ones you want to appear in the boot menu by running
'bootman' in a terminal window, and editing your choices.
6. Reboot machine to make sure the three OS's all boot.
Key here is to
a) Install Bootman when u install BeOS and smear over that W2K boot manager.
- It'll recognize W2K, BeOS and Linux.
b) Don't install LILO in the MBR.

With what distribution?
I used RedHat6.0-6.2, Mandrake7.2, and SuSE7.0 and 7.1. I can't remember
if Debian and Slackware... I think they also support that printer.
All of them support HP5L right out of the box.

OK, lets see if I can help?
If you rely on "drek"* to do the work FOR you that what happens.
a) Is there any information on second drive? If so, copy it to first drive.
b) Invoke in Windows MS-DOS prompt, call FDISK, change to second drive (menu
selection 5) and DELETE all partitions from it.
c) Reboot.
d) Install Linux directing it to /dev/hdb IDE1(second drive in our lingo). (If
it is slave on primary interface, otherwise /dev/hdc=master on secondary IDE2,
/dev/hdd=slave on secondary IDE3)

So what is incorrect? If your Linux is so old that it does not list the
5L set it up for hplj4 600 dpi. The 4 and 5L should use the same PCL
commands.
Note: Do NOT set it as HPLJ4L which is really smoothed 300 dpi that worked
with earlier hplj3 drivers.

Does ttyS01 show up in your boot messages? If so, try connecting minicom
to /dev/ttyS1 and see if it responds to AT commands.
If not, then maybe it is a PnP modem and you need to:
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
Then edit that file for your port and irq.

For this kind of computer, I'm not sure that Linux is the best way,
it's more easy to use a BSD with a old Computer. OpenBSD or FreeBSD, you
can make an FTP install.
If you want really Linux, the Slackware, RedHat and Debian can do that.

I use a SparcStation 5 with OpenBSD. Before to use OBSD, I Used Linux on
SparcStation 2, NetBSD on a SparcStation IPX and 5, the Linux distro was
a RedHat 5.1 and a Debian.
Linux was not so reliable than *BSD on Sparc, the second one works on a
Sun 4M like Sun OS, Linux works like a PC :-(. I had a lot of seg fault
and reboot with Linux.
Perhaps the 2.2 Kernel is better on 4M, I do not know, I did not try.

If you want to read and modify the database of users for your system,
you may type
# vipw
as root.

Subject: Can Oracle 8/8i be installed on Red Hat 7.0?
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 13:06:34 +0800
Dear all,
Steven said, "DO NOT USE RedHat 7, Use RedHat 6.2 instead", while
Bradley said he just put Oracle 8 on an RH7 system at work.
I am a little confused, which statement is right?
If both are right, I would make guesses as follows:
1.Oracle 8i works on RH7, but Oracle 8 doesn't. (or vice versa)
2.Oracle 8 or 8i didn't work on RH7 at first, but fixed later. The 8i
R3 version I have is already 8.1.7.1.0, not 8.1.7.0.0 any more.
Hope those who know this can give complete information. In short, I
would only try 8i R3 on RH7, I can forget about other versions.
Thanks.
Dino
