Do you know what block size the fs uses? 8193 is only for 1k blocks. e2fsck(8) doesn't tell you where the alternate blocks are (except the first - 8193, 16384, 32768 for 1k, 2k, and 4k blocks) - it says to use mke2fs -n (the man page is here if you need it: http://linux.ctyme.com/man/man0437.htm). It makes sense that they are multiples of 8k, but you may be off by one here or there. You might try mke2fs -n before you go the -S route (and you need the block size for that too, anyway). Well, this proved to be a smart move!! I hadn't the least clue what the block size was, and could have gone to it's mirror image (/dev/hdb6) as a last resort, but this did it even better. mke2fs -n gave me a description of what the filesystem would be, INCLUDING the adresses of the backup superblocks. The first one was on 98304, and that let in e2fsck. Now I'm going to boot it, and see what's left. Mind you, the main file entries destroyed were in the browser cache.

So, given a patch file containing a pathname foo/bar/baz/somefile.c: patch -p0 yields foo/bar/baz/somefile.c patch -p1 yields bar/baz/somefile.c patch -p2 yields baz/somefile.c Keep in mind that patch works relative to the current directory. So, in the first example, foo/bar/baz/somefile.c has to exist in foo/bar/baz from your current directory, or the patch will fail. Clear?

Re: new install init
Pico (comes with PINE console mailer), has its limitations, but if you ahve problems rembering vi commands, and arent worried about line length then you should be ok... However, there is something to a 'limit' on a single line for pico.. can not remember what that was dealing with...

It's ugly, but so is BIND when you don't know exactly what those zone files are made of! g The real problem is that I _Cannot_ remember the commands to type in as i do not use an editor enough to remember. I can read however and click the mouse button, also joe/jove have a commands reminder key sequence that I can callup to jog the memory. I had a problem a while ago where I did not have access to any other editor than vi, it took me hours of frustration to get a line altered. -- Bill Day ( a.k.a.
