Re: Good BSD/Linux Article (somewhat off-topic)
I must say this were some great reading! Now I can give my dear GNU/Linux friends some better understanding why I love my BSD boxes.

Re: perl script question.
If this occures more than once on a line we should have the line as this: perl -pi.bak -e 's/\s+\w+_\w+\.?//g;' filename Notice the added g. :-) On Sat, Jan 10, 2004 at 10:33:08PM +, Matthew Seaman wrote: On Sat, Jan 10, 2004 at 02:10:36PM -0800, Gary Kline wrote: Folks, Let's see if perl can do this one; it's as obscure a task as I've run into.

Re: mass word find/replace
sed(1) should be able do the trick. sed -e /pn_/s//nuke_/g * The above command should replace all pn_ to nuke_ in all files in the directory you run the command. /Björn I am trying to find a way to replace one word in a file with another word, like windows wordpad find/replace. I need to change pn_ to nuke_ and have a 188000 lines to do it on. ugh thanks Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: windows killed my boot manager
Actually had the same problem myself last week. The write option _is_ there but it isn't showing. Simply pressing 'w' will ask if you want to write. :-) Best luck, Björn. I needed to reinstall Windows after a FreeBSD 5.x install. I knew that I could reinstall the boot manager from the CD. However, looking at the FAQ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#WIN95-DAMAGED-BOOT-MANAGER to answer my question, the answers don't work for me: - if I try to run bootinst from within XP, it won't let it access the MBR - I don't have a floppy drive. When I go through this process on the CD, there's no (W)rite command in the partition editor (which should actually be called a slice editor, right?) When I exit, it asks if I want to install the boot loader, but it doesn't do it. When I try to commit my changes, it wants new partition label, and asks be what packages to install - If I try to go to the fixit shell, I can't really get a live filesystem. At least, not from the installation CD. I know there's another FreeBSD live CD project out there, but it's based on 4.x, and I'm not sure if the boot loader has changed at all, because I can't find a version history anywhere. So... What's the current (5.x) answer to this dilemma? Thanks, Dan __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
