Hello,
I need some advise here as I am trying to install gentoo along with
different other OS'es including windows.
As I am new to this field I would need some guidance as to ho to go about
and to know the subtleties between LILO and GRUB.
Can anyone help me about this.
TIA

Sorry, did not read your message to the end.
So the sixth line on that script, on your case, instead of:
j=`echo $i | sed s/\ \-\ unwantedString//`
should be:
j="Person of Interest - "$i
I guess that's it. You will have to open a console at the directory where
your movies are in.

I've got 1 DVD that for some reason fails to rip using Handbrake. I

Hello Peter,
dmcrypt works perfectly without initrd as long as you do not encrypt the
root filesystem.
So for encrypted home directories, you can just create and use a LUKS
volume with dmcrypt (AFAIK the fastest and easy-to-use way).
Regarding other techniques like gpg or truecrypt, you should k

Hi all,
Sorry for this off topic post, but I've been asked how/where to find maximum
size of bash variable value. I've search and found 4M, 1k, 4k ... . But didn't
