I am surprised that no one has told this till now. The main purpose of diff is to generate a patch which can then be used to apply/revert changes across two versions of a file. The output produced by diff can do that very efficiently. It is very compact and elegant format of showing differences between two files (although it requires a trained eye). If you want to get acquainted with diff output, read its documentation by doing 'info diff'. As for your problem, try vimdiff or gvimdiff (graphical version of vimdiff). These two programs do what you want. gvimdiff seems to do what I want. -- -- We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we are.

diff display
Under windows, diff usually works like windiff - you see the two versions side by side, with the differences highlighted by color git-gui, however gives me a diff where I see a single stream annotated with + and - I find the single stream display really obscure, ugly, and confusing. So if I had a file that used to be first error anoth more again And it was changed to first anoth new again Then the linux tools I have now would display the changes as first -error anoth -more +new again While the windows tools I am used to would display it as two streams side by side first first -error anoth anoth -more +new again again but with color highlighting instead of + and - Can I get file changes recorded in git to display the way they do in windows? -- -- We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we are.

Did you use the - option to su when you became root to do that stuff? I doubt that apt-get or any of its ilk are available if you do a plain su, which, unlike doing an 'su -' does not give you roots $PATH.

Re: apt-get: Command not found.
James A. Donald: I conjecture that apt-get has been replaced with some cool gui based configuration tool, and apt-get is no longer on the path. Jochen Schulz It is. All of the fancy GUI programs rely on apt-get so it still has to be there. I assure you, apt-get is *not* on the path. Pardon, me, problem is glaringly obvious. I have Suse installed, and Suse uses Yast I thought I had debian installed. Sorry. -- http://www.jim.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I recollect that when I access the computer with keyboard and monitor, (which requires me to haul the computer out of the cupboard) I get some stuff about updates, but when I access the KDE gui through vnc and vncserver, I get a rather sparse screen that does not have that update stuff on it. I suppose there is some command I can give in the KDE gui that will bring up some tool for updating and configuring debian? my .vnc/xstartup file is unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title $VNCDESKTOP Desktop startkde Maybe there is something I can add to that file so my startup screen is a bit more helpful?
